Raphael Trujillo's Offer to Take Jewish Refugees In

Raphael Trujillo offered to take Jewish refugees into the Dominican Republic if they worked as farmers and had kids with Dominicans. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, who were trying to get Jews out of Europe, took his offer because "what else are we going to do?" Each new settler is supposed to be given 80 acres of land 10 cows a mule and a horse - which compared to Auschwitz is pretty good deal.
