Vol I: The Jews in the New World series
The Dutch, British, Spanish, French, and Danish islands of the Caribbean are rich in Jewish history. This book tells their story from the time of the Spanish inquisition to the present era. In "500 Years in the Jewish Caribbean," you will discover that:

• Alexander Hamilton, America's first Secretary of the Treasury, was born on the Caribbean island of Nevis. His curriculum, when he was studying at the island's Jewish School, included Hebrew.
• In 1781, when British forces conquered the Dutch island of St. Eustatius, they singled out Jewish merchants for punishment because of their assistance to the American colonies during the Revolutionary War.
• During World War II, Nazi sympathizers were put to work in Surinam by the Dutch government to restore the Caribbean's oldest Jewish cemeteries.
• Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo donated over 50,000 acres of his own land to induce 10,000 Jewish refugees to settle in the Dominican Republic during World War II. He also issued an additional 4,000 exit visas.
• Until 1840, the only ordained rabbis in the Western Hemisphere were those in the West Indies. . .
