OTD in 1492, Spain signed a decree expelling its entire Jewish population.

Convert or leave.

 Centuries of culture erased overnight.

 But Sephardic Jews carried their traditions across the world.

 A story of loss—but also of resilience.

today is july 15, the anniversary of Queen Regent María Cristina de Borbón abolishing the spanish inquisition in 1815.

to honor the jewry of that region, my mother’s people, who suffered at the hands of that horrific organization, i wanted to post some excerpts from Forgotten Giants by Rabbi Yosef Bitton and other things people don’t typically know:

Documentary tells tragic story of 2,000 kidnapped Sephardic Jewish kids | The Jerusalem Post

The documentary outlines how 2,000 Jewish children were sent to the hostile island of São Tomé after the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 149

the inquisition was abolished 300+ years later. it existed and held power for over 300 years. (1815 is particularly interesting bc napoleon got rid of the second class citizenship of jews and closed the ghettos and gave us basic human rights…and then when he was defeated, our rights were stripped away again. but also cristina abolishing it was a moot point then. the emancipation etc came from napoleon and his reforms. )

spain would go on to learn NOTHING from this history and continue to stew in jew hatred to this day after spending decades as a fascist nation. portugal has learned nothing either.
