The ship "Struma", carrying refugees fleeing the Nazi regime and its collaborators, was torpedoed and sunk by a Soviet submarine in international waters in the Black Sea on February 24, 1942. In order to remember the 768 people who lost their lives in this tragic incident, a commemoration ceremony will be held in Istanbul on February 24 this year, too.”
