Jews?
You need to contact State Senator Schneiderman's office

His office just supported the showing of a documentary regarding the acceptance of Jews in Sousa, DR after WWII. They might still have the contact information of the person you would need to speak to about this.
Best.

If you're in Santo Domingo, you might want to stop in the synagogue there. It's near the EL EMBAJADOR Hotel. It might be on the same street (AVENIDA SARASOTA). I don't think the synagogue/museum in Sosua is open anymore.Philippa said:Anybody have contact info of original settlers of Sosua (or their descendants) living in the States?
The museum is open in Sosua.
They list everybody alphabetically and the year of arrival.
Get in touch with the owners of Tropix if you need to find someone.
They have been here since the 40's.(Silvie Papernik)

You better off contacting Mr. Koch. He is a very nice man to talk to. I know him personally and he will tell you all there is to know about early sosua. He practically built sosua with his bare hands. He had arrived here from austria after WW2 (survived nazi concentration camp). I hope he is in good health to receive folks at his age. He should be found in the synagogue of sosua.Lechero said:The museum is open in Sosua.
