Scope and Contents note
These personal accounts, written in the 1930s, look back to the period of Jewish presence in Trinidad from about 1932 to the early war years and the Jewish emigration as a result of the annexation of Austria by the Nazis. They were written for the purpose of making a record of these earlier years of the Jewish Community in Trinidad. A list of names or families extant when the account by Mrs Yufe was written is detailed in the correspondence.
