Hidden Stories, Living Legacy: The Converso Journey Continues
For centuries, Jewish communities flourished across the Iberian Peninsula, contributing to its intellectual, cultural, and economic life. But this rich history was marked by persecution, massacres, the Inquisition, and the expulsion and forced conversion of Jews to Christianity. Many families were driven from their ancestral homes, while others remained under pressure to abandon their faith. Across generations, some preserved elements of their Jewish traditions and memories, while others lost conscious knowledge of their origins. Carried into new lands, the legacy of Sefarad endured through family names, customs, documents, oral histories, and stories passed from one generation to the next.
On September 6, we introduced Sefarad: Past, Present & Future, a three-part educational series exploring the history, heritage, and enduring legacy of Sefarad.
The journey continues with the next two chapters.
Parts II and III will bring the Converso phenomenon into the present, exploring its living legacy and the experiences of communities reconnecting with their Jewish heritage.
