Rediscovering Portuguese Secrets: Little-Known Jewish History That Changed The World
Venture on a journey with the BZD and renowned author and historian Irene Shaland as we delve into the enchanting tapestry of Portugal’s Jewish history, a narrative often overlooked by many.
Uncover the fascinating yet lesser-known stories of Jewish presence in the Iberian Peninsula since Biblical times. From the rich Sephardic or Spanish-Portuguese Jewish heritage influencing Portugal’s evolution during the Roman and Visigoth eras to the remarkable Age of Discovery and navigating the shadowy epochs of the Inquisition and persecution.
Explore the resilience of Jewish faith and traditions as they endured in secrecy, extending to World War II when Portugal emerged as a haven for countless European refugees. We’ll also touch upon the contemporary landscape, highlighting the modest yet flourishing Jewish community thriving in present-day Portugal.
Join us to explore the Portuguese secrets that have shaped history, weaving a tale of survival, resilience, and cultural evolution.
