I have two questions:

First, I am reading two personal narratives, one by Fania Fenelon,
entitled Playing for Time, and the other entitled Shivitti.  Are these
accurate and historical, as opposed to fictional, narratives?  I ask
because a few
months ago, someone on this network referred to Fenelon's narrative as
fictional and because in the other narrative, the survivor has endured
psychological treatments involving LSD.

The other question concerns the ship The St. Louis, which was denied
entry into Cuba and the U.S. Is this the only ship that encountered this
problem or did other ships face similar predicaments in attempts to bring
Jews out of Germany?
