 | HAVANA, CUBA The Jewish Heritage Jews in Cuba (from the Encyclopedia Judaica) "The first Jewish group to settle in Havana after Cuban independence (1902) came from the United States. They founded the United Hebrew Congregation in 1906. They were followed by Sephardim, mainly from Turkey, whose communal congregation, Shevet Ahim, was founded in 1914. In the 1920s thousands of Jews from Eastern Europe arrived in Cuba, hoping to use it as a stepping stone to the U.S. Many of them settled in Havana, where they founded the Centro Israelita (Jewish Center) in 1925, together with a large number of social, religious, cultural, and political organizations. In the late 1930s and during World War II Havana became a temporary haven for thousands of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, using loopholes in Cuba's immigration laws. In May 1939, however, Havana was the scene of the tragic episode of the S.S. *St. Louis, whose passengers were refused landing and were compelled to return to Europe, where many of them perished in extermination camps. Following World War II the Havana community prospered both economically and socially. In 1951 the Ashkenazi community laid the cornerstone for the Patronato, a magnificent building that symbolized the social mobility and prosperity of Havana Jews. When the Sephardim inaugurated their Sephardi Center, Fidel Castro was already in power. The Cuban revolution of 1959 marked the decline of Havana Jews. Following the nationalization of private business, around 90% of them emigrated from Cuba, most of them to the United States. The government respected the right of the Jewish community to continue its religious life, but the demographic decline, the emigration of lay and religious leaders, and the influence of the atheistic policy of the state had a growing impact on Jewish life. In 1973 Cuba severed its diplomatic relations with Israel, and the isolation of Havana Jews increased." イディッシュ語 קובה שיעור יידיש |

In 1973 Cuba severed its diplomatic relations with Israel, and the isolation of Havana Jews increased. The deterioration of communal life continued until the late 1980s, when 752 Jews (82% of the total in Cuba) were registered in the community's records for the distribution of products for Passover, sent annually by the Canadian Jewish Congress. Since 1990 the community in Havana experienced a great revival. The collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union forced the Castro government to look for new sources of hard currency, and Cuba was opened to tourists and foreign investors. The community in Havana receives moral and material support from Jewish organizations, especially from the *Joint Distribution Committe. Today there are three religious congregations functioning in Havana - the Patronato (with a Conservative synagogue), Adath Israel (Orthodox), and the Sephardi Center. In addition there are several other groups, including the B'nai B'rith, the Women's Organization, and ORT.

 | Cuba National Anthem The native Amerindian population of Cuba began to decline after the European discovery of the island by Christopher COLUMBUS in 1492 and following its development as a Spanish colony during the next several centuries. Large numbers of African slaves were imported to work the coffee and sugar plantations, and Havana became the launching point for the annual treasure fleets bound for Spain from Mexico and Peru. Spanish rule, marked initially by neglect, became increasingly repressive, provoking an independence movement and occasional rebellions that were harshly suppressed. It was US intervention during the Spanish-American War in 1898 that finally overthrew Spanish rule. The subsequent Treaty of Paris established Cuban independence, which was granted in 1902 after a three-year transition period. Fidel CASTRO led a rebel army to victory in 1959; his iron rule has held the regime together since then. Cuba's Communist revolution, with Soviet support, was exported throughout Latin America and Africa during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The country is now slowly recovering from a severe economic recession in 1990, following the withdrawal of former Soviet subsidies, worth $4 billion to $6 billion annually. Cuba portrays its difficulties as the result of the US embargo in place since 1961. Illicit migration to the US - using homemade rafts, alien smugglers, air flights, or via the southwest border - is a continuing problem. The US Coast Guard intercepted 2,810 individuals attempting to cross the Straits of Florida in fiscal year 2006. 14 provinces (provincias, singular - provincia) and 1 special municipality* (municipio especial); Camaguey, Ciego de Avila, Cienfuegos, Ciudad de La Habana, Granma, Guantanamo, Holguin, Isla de la Juventud*, La Habana, Las Tunas, Matanzas, Pinar del Rio, Sancti Spiritus, Santiago de Cuba, Villa Clara. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/cu.html |
 | Fidel Castro in Angola and Africa During the 1975 independence struggle, Fidel Castro sent Cuban troops to assist the Angolan MPLA in it's revolutionary mission after repeated requests to the USSR were ignored. The MPLA was successful with Cuba's military and technical assistance, and the People's Republic of Angola was proclaimed on November 11th 1975. Castro became a Third World liberation hero throughout Africa, confirming his status as one of the most charismatic and successful revolutionary leaders of all time, while the US became increasingly frustrated! Some archive footage is presented here of the revolutionary war, of Angola's first Marxist president Agostinho Neto, Castro visiting Africa at the time and his impassioned defense of his internationalist intervention at the UN. |
 | Remember the Maine Another video in my collection of shipwreck tributes, this time it is the USS Maine. On Febuary 15th 1898, while assigned to protect US Interests in Havana Cuba during the Cuban War of Independence against Spain, the battleship USS Maine was destroyed by a massive explosion killing all but 74 of her 350 man crew. Through a combination of hysteria and yellow jurnalism the destruction of the Maine triggered the five month Spanish-American War. In 1912 the Maine was raised and resunk in deep water, and she and those who died aboard her were forgotten. Music: Sleeping Sun Artist: Nightwish Subject: USS Maine |

 | China in Africa - Angola Part 2 in the series. From 1961 to 1974 under Portuguese colonial rule and then from independence in 1975 to 2002, Angola experienced great internal turmoil as UNITA, the MPLA, the Portuguese military, the FNLA, the South Africa military, the Cubans, the Soviets and East Germans all participated in first, a war of independence, then a war for Cold War ideological dominance in the country. By 2002 the country was in complete ruins, it ranked near the bottom of the United Nations Human Development index. There was no economy to speak of. Although the country was rich in diamonds and oil, these resources had been used to finance the war. Millions of people had been internally displaced. There was next to no foreign investment. In stepped China. China's need for oil has turned Angola into the second largest oil exporter in Africa, and the country is poised to replace Nigeria as the number one exporter of oil in Africa within a few years. Not only is China buying Angolan oil, it is building or rebuilding all kinds of infrastructure in the country. The construction boom in Angola has drawn South African, Portuguese and Brazilian companies to the country as well to service the growing Angolan market.
