About us
Jewish presence in Northwestern Iberia dates back, at least, to the 10th century. This is a population that went through prohibitions, persecutions, forced conversions, and expulsions, from Spain in 1492, from Portugal in 1497 and from the Kingdom of Navarre in 1498. These tragic events produced two main population outcomes, the Jewish Sephardic Diaspora, and the converso and/or marrano and Crypto Jews. They both have the same documented Hebrew origin in the Iberian Peninsula. This group interest is to trace that story through historical, cultural and genetic journeys, expanding, deepening, and enriching members's personal and collective memory
