Intersection register · custodian, not owner
The island of Nevis, in the British Lesser Antilles, welcomed as early as the seventeenth century a small Sephardic Jewish community, primarily merchants involved in the sugar economy. A Jewish cemetery survives in Charlestown, bearing witness to this presence during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
