I watched most of your presentation and it is very well done. I'm not sure where your facts on the Jewish refugees came from. I have read several different accounts and your numbers seem way off. You also left out why the DR was willing to take 10's of thousands of refugees.

By todays standards it would be considered extremely racist but it was the way the world worked at the time.

Thanks for the response! Yes, I got several disagreeing numbers as well on pretty much everything and to settle for what seemed most likely and what source seemed most reliable. Which do you mean? On how many Jews actually made it to the island?

Sorry, of course that's what you meant. And I left out the reason for the obvious reasons. I may get into it in another episode. What numbers did you find?
