Strangers Cay
Island of the Bahamas
Island of the Bahamas
History
During World War Two, Solomon Schonfeld purchased the island as part of a rescue plan for the endangered Jews in Europe. He assumed that if he owned an island he would be free to invite Jews who can escape from the European continent to stay there, for extended periods. He received a positive response to his proposal from the Colonial Office, and raised £10,000 to purchase Stranger's Cey. The plan failed when a different department within the Colonial Office countered the initial support for the plan.
