Summary
"Jewish Treasures of the Caribbean" photographically highlights the little-known history of the earliest Jewish communities of the New-World, as seen through the remaining historic sites in Barbados, Curaçao, Jamaica, Nevis, St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. Eustatius and Suriname. These synagogues and Jewish cemeteries, some of the oldest in the Western Hemisphere, beautifully exemplify the strength of the Jewish people as well as the surprisingly diverse cultural history of the Caribbean." -- book flap.
