We are a 501C3 non-profit organization working hard to promote tolerance and equality. Our mission is "To Educate and Remember." President Franklin D.

Just before World War II, in response to the plight of Jewish refugees desperate to flee murderous persecution, U.S. Roosevelt convened the Evian Conference in 1938. Hopeful European Jews looked to the Evian Conference for “safe haven”. The world did NOT act. Following Britain’s and the United States lead, no attending country committed to accept a significant number of refugees; except one, the D

ominican Republic. The Dominican Republic offered to accept up to 100,000 Jewish refugees during World War II. In 1940, an agreement was signed and the first Jewish settlers came to Sosua, an abandoned banana plantation and small beach town on the northern coast of the island. Through this remarkable story of Holocaust survival, help us celebrate Sosua's past, present, and future. Please join us by raising public awareness of this scarcely known historic event to help teach future generations to stand up to intolerance and what the terrible results of NOT taking action can be.

IN HONOR OF INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBERANCE DAY

MARK TWAIN ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE, published in the year 1899:★ "If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.
The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. ALL THINGS ARE MORTAL BUT THE JEW; ALL OTHER FORCES PASS, BUT HE REMAINS. What is the secret of his immortality?” - Mark Twain
★ (This article was written in 1899 when anti-Semitism was widespread in the United States. Large companies did not hire Jews, Universities either didn't admit Jews or limited their numbers with strict quotas. "Respectable" people like Ford and Edison expressed their anti-Jewish feelings openly. Mark Twain had an answer for them:
Written by Mark Twain in Harper's, Sept. 1899)

Capturing this wonderful moment, my hope for the future and for the next generations who are grounded in faith has been renewed!

Stemming from the migrations from Spain, Portugal, and the Iberian peninsula over hundreds of years, did you know that 90% of all Dominicans have Sephardic Jewish DNA in them?
