Sarah Laurence’s Reviews > Tropical Zion: General Trujillo, FDR, and the Jews of Sosúa > Status Update

This is the true story of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany who resettled in the Dominican Republic to farm, welcomed by a repressive dictator. The author is a descendent of a refugee and teaches at Bowdoin College with my husband. My great grandfather helped raise money in the USA for the resettlement. Small world!
