Jews in New Amsterdam
A group of 23 Jews arrived in New Amsterdam in early September 1654, after the fall of Dutch Brazil forced many Jewish families to leave Recife and seek refuge from the Portuguese Inquisition. Peter Stuyvesant tried to have them expelled, but the Dutch West India Company overruled him and allowed Jews to live, travel, and trade in the colony, provided they did not become a burden.
