Les Juifs de Trinidad-et-Tobago

The Jewish presence in Trinidad dates back to the Sephardic merchant networks of the Caribbean during the colonial era, but it was primarily in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that a more visible community took shape, reinforced by immigrants from Europe and, in the 1930s–1940s, by refugees fleeing Nazism. With many of its members established in commerce, they formed a small community. A communal life, with a place of worship, was organized notably in Port of Spain. The community has remained small throughout its history.
