JodensavanneBy kkeps(2026-10-06)Jodensavanne ("Jewish Savanna") was a Jewish plantation community in Suriname, South America, and was for a time the center of Jewish life in the colony. It was established in the 1600s by Sephardi Jews and became more developed and wealthy after a group of Jews fleeing persecution in Brazil settled there in the 1660s. It was in what's now Para District, about 50 km south of the capital Paramaribo, on the Suriname River. Sugarcane plantations were established by forcing Black African people to work as slaves. At its height ca 1700, Jodensavanne was home to about 500 plantation owners and 9000 enslaved people. The colony faced regular attacks from Indigenous people, slave revolts, and raids from the French navy. The community eventually relocated to Paramaribo. Clearing of grave sites and maintenance of the synagogue ruins has been attempted at various times from the 1940s to the present.
Jodensavanne along with the Cassipora Cemetery were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.
