LONDRA - From Andalusian Orangeries to Anatolia

"From Andalusian Orangeries to Anatolia

In 1492, Spain expelled up to two hundred thousand Jews and Maranos (Outwardly Christian Crypto-Jews). Thousands of fleeing Sephardim Jews, died while trying to reach a safe haven. The expulsion of Sephardim Jews was a cataclysmic event in European history that was really part of a chain of anti-Semitic events in Europe. It coincided with the age of navigation and discovery of the Americas that brought advances in our knowledge of our world.

The persecution of the Sephardim Jews engendered by the Inquisition had reached its zenith in the 16th century."
