Housed in the former synagogue Mikve Israel-Emanuel (1732), the oldest synagogue in continuous use in the Americas, this museum traces the history of the Sephardic community that settled in Curaçao from the mid-seventeenth century onwards, fleeing the Inquisition in Brazil. Its collections include liturgical objects, archival documents, and testimonies on the economic and cultural role of Jews in the Dutch Caribbean. The building itself, with its white sand floor, is listed as a national monument.
This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.
