Sosúa Jewish Museum
Museo Judío de Sosúa
A small museum recounting how Jewish refugees settled in Sosúa in 1940, next to a small synagogue that is still in use.
After the 1938 Évian Conference, the Dominican Republic was one of the few countries willing to accept Jewish refugees. Several hundred European Jews began settling in Sosúa in 1940, founding cheese and meat-processing factories. The museum tells this story through photographs, documents and artifacts, and the small synagogue next door is still in use. It is modest in size, takes about half an hour to see, and may close on weekends and holidays. Admission is a small fee. Located in central Sosúa, it can be visited together with Sosúa Beach.
