Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Punta Cana

The first Jews known to have reached the island of Hispaniola were Spanish. The Dominican Republic was one of the very few countries willing to accept mass Jewish immigration during World War II. At the Évian Conference, it offered to accept up to 100,000 Jewish refugees. It is estimated that 5,000 visas were actually issued, and the vast majority of the recipients did not reach the country because of how hard it was to get out of occupied Europe. In 1943 the number of known Jews in the Dominican Republic peaked at 1000. The oldest Jewish grave is dated to 1826.
