Les Juifs de Port-au-Prince (Haïti)

Jewish presence on the island of Hispaniola dates back to the colonial period, with Sefardi families linked to Caribbean trade networks. A more visible community formed in Port-au-Prince in the twentieth century, fed notably by immigrants from the Levant and Europe, and in the 1930s-1940s by refugees fleeing Nazism, Haiti having issued documents to some of them. Always very small, this merchant community remained poorly structured institutionally. The political and economic instability of the country in the twentieth century led to its erosion, and only a symbolic presence remains today.
