Strangers Cay is a small, 360-acre island in The Bahamas, which is approximately 2.25 miles long.
It is located halfway between West End on Grand Bahama and Treasure Cay on Abaco Island.
[citation needed] During World War Two, Solomon Schonfeld purchased the island as part of a rescue plan for the endangered Jews in Europe.
He assumed that if he owned an island he would be free to invite Jews who can escape from the European continent to stay there, for extended periods.
He received a positive response to his proposal from the Colonial Office, and raised £10,000 to purchase Stranger's Cey.
