The Jewish Savannah, the first permanent Jewish settlement in the New World, was settled first by Portuguese Jews between 1635 and 1639. During the first half of the eighteenth century, the 2,000 inhabitants of the Jewish Savannah constituted half of Suriname's white population.Hartsinck, a director of the Dutch West India Company (VOC), had access to many VOC documents now lost, as well as to the papers of his father (who had been director of the Surinam Society for 25 years). He was also an official of the Admiralty in Amsterdam and a member of the Zeeland Academy of Sciences.
