Les Juifs de Port-au-Prince (Haïti)

Jewish presence on the island of Hispaniola dates back to the colonial period, with Sephardic families linked to Caribbean commercial networks. A more visible community formed in Port-au-Prince in the 20th 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 institutionally structured. Political and economic instability in the country in the 20th century led to its erosion, and today only symbolic presence remains.
