The Jewish presence on the island of Hispaniola dates back to the colonial period, with Sephardic families connected to Caribbean commercial networks. A more visible community formed in Port-au-Prince in the twentieth century, sustained 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 community of merchants remained poorly structured institutionally. The political and economic instability of the country in the twentieth century led to its erosion, and today only a symbolic presence remains.
