Dive into the gripping saga of the Sephardic Jews during the Spanish Inquisition, a time when the 1492 Alhambra Decree forced them to convert to Christianity or face expulsion. Many chose exile, journeying across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, shaping vibrant communities in Istanbul, Thessaloniki, and Amsterdam. Their resilience birthed a rich cultural tapestry, merging Jewish traditions with local customs. Meanwhile, "Conversos," or Crypto-Jews, remained in Spain, outwardly converting but secretly upholding their faith under the Inquisition's watchful eye. Their ingenuity in preserving their identity through secret synagogues and clandestine practices is a testament to their courage. Witness the endurance of the Sephardic diaspora, whose cultural and intellectual contributions enriched societies worldwide, standing resilient against adversity.
