“I’m not sure there were any jews on the rescue ship’s that night.”

As I mentioned, Nathan Strauss’s brother and sister-in-law were on the Titatic. However, they were not rescued. Nathan Strauss would have been there as well, but he was saved as a result of the fact that he stayed in EY to try to find a way to help the Yidden living there.

I think there is a Chanoch Teller story revolving around a Jewish woman who was rescued, and her baby somehow got kidnapped in the process (but she managed to rescue him from his kidnapper in the end).

In any case, Joe was trying to make a hypothetical situation to make some kind of a point – I’m still not sure what it was though.
