During and after World War II many Jews fleeing Europe were not allowed to enter the United States. Cuba accepted them. When Castro came into power, the Jewish community feared that a Communist government would not allow freedom of religion (or worse; cf. Soviet Union with whom Castro had strong ties), so they left for the United States, which by that time allowed them entrance.
