US embassy cable - 04GUATEMALA2969

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

The Jewish community in Guatemala is small (less than one 
thousand or 0.008% of the general population) and confined to 
Guatemala City.  PolOff spoke to Guatemalan's leading rabbi 
and several Jewish citizens in April 2004 and November 2004. 
They did not/not report any acts of violence against or 
harassment of Jewish people for their beliefs.  As reported 
in the 2004 IRF, Government policies contribute to the free 
practice of relgion for all religious denominations.
