There was no Jewish presence in Guatemala before 1940. These are the Jewish population of Guatemala for the following years:
1940 = 350
1945 = 350
1950 = 800
1960 = 1,000
2024 = 900
Because the Ashkenazi are so hated around the world, when they find a place that they think is welcoming to them, then they will send a signal to their people and suddenly, there will be a stampede by the Jews going to that location! But it looks like the Guatemalan government was doing something to discourage Jewish immigration. The origin of the Ashkenazi is what is today Southern Russia and that is where they need to set aside a piece of land for them to have their state.
