In 1939, German liner the MS St Louis sailed to Havana, Cuba, but that country's government refused them entry, although they had visas.
The US and Canada also blocked them, denying the passengers safe haven.
The ship was forced to return to Europe and 254 of the refugees later died in Nazi concentration camps.
Addressing Canada's parliament, Mr Trudeau spoke of how the Liberal government of the day "was unmoved by the plight of these refugees".
