There are more Curaçao Jewish stories
As the Jews settled on the island and got involved in daily life, their lives intertwined with local happenings and the lines between being what is Jewish heritage and what is Curaçao culture blurred. So, while the Synagogues, the cemeteries, the museums and the archives are markedly Jewish, there are other places that showcase Jewish stories less expressly.
We invite you to explore these venues as well.
