In the wake of the massacre of over 1,200 Israelis and others on October 7th, the Jewish Community of Porto has released a film showing the massacre of three thousand Jews in Lisbon in 1506.
“1506 – The Lisbon Genocide” was officially released on April 19th, the anniversary of the date when the rampage against the Jews began, with thousands of Jews of all ages being hunted, decapitated, burned, and mutilated, with victims being paraded in the streets, in scenes eerily reminiscent of the massacre on Simchat Torah in the south of Israel.
The documentary film was made as short as possible, about 20 minutes long, so that it may be seen by everyone of all ages, even those who prefer not to watch long movies. Research was carried out by the Community’s historical research center and reviewed by the holder of the Alberto Benveniste Chair of Sephardic Studies of the University of Lisbon.
