Monument Gets Some Attention

On the 9th September 2010, I mentioned the pamphlet/book named, A Brief History of the Jewish Settlement in Barbados.

On the 13th January 2011 today, the Barbados Daily Newspaper reported that Angel Santiago – Torres, a monument conservator, has been working on the Montefiore Monument in Barbados.

This monument is a water fountain that was given to the people of Barbados by John Montefiore.

It was given in memory of his father, who was a Jewish settler on this island. He died as a result of cholera.
