Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Antigua Guatemala

Documents in the archives of the Mexican Inquisition attest to the presence of Marranos in Guatemala during the colonial period. Jewish immigrants, whose Jewish traditions are still present, arrived at the beginning of the 20th century from Germany and Middle East countries, followed in the 1920s by East European Jews. Many of the latter came via Cuba and considered Guatemala only a transit stop until they could obtain visas to the United States.
