Video from the Sosúa Exhibition at NY's Museum of Jewish Heritage

This video was displayed in the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust exhibition "Sosúa: A Refuge For Jews In The Dominican Republic (Sosúa: Un Refugio De Judíos En La República Dominicana)". The exhibition was on view from February - August 2008.

A marvelous video, very well edited. I was born in Sosua from German parents who arrived there in 1941. I grew up on a dairy farm 'till I was nine years old, then moved into town to be closer to the school. I moved back to Sosua in the 90's, been living there since.

While living in the Dominican Republic in Santo Domingo I happen to have met some of the descendants of the people in this video. I was very proud that the Dominican government at that time opened the doors while the rest of the world, including the US looked the other way. Nations needed to step up while these people were being exterminated during the Holocaust, but very few did. The Dominican Republic was one of the few that stepped up.

Thanks for posting this incredible chapter of the Jewish community in the Dominican Republic (back in the 1940s-1970s).
