U.S. to Mark Jewish Immigrants' Arrival Sun Sep 12, 4:04 PM ET By VERENA DOBNIK, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK - They were only "23 souls, big and small," exhausted after surviving storms and pirates on the high seas. Those five words in an early Dutch document describe America's first Jews, who had fled persecution in Brazil. They were captured by buccaneers in the Caribbean before a French ship, the St. Catherine, rescued them and brought them to what is now New York. The exact day the ship docked is unclear, but the document dated Sept. 7, 1654, mentions the 23 men, women and children who stepped off the St. Catherine, starting Jewish history in America. story.news.yahoo.com
