Museo Judío

Learn about the industrious Europeans who fled Nazi Europe–after being granted visas from then-Dominican leader and dictator Rafael Trujillo–and started their life anew as cattle ranchers and farmers in Sosúa, on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic in the 1940s. Through the use of black and white photographs, letters, and historical displays, the Jewish Museum recounts and commemorates the lives and times of the DR’s Jewish community, and its major role in the area’s thriving meat and dairy industry.
