Description
During the Spanish colonial era, Lima became an unexpected refuge for many Sephardic Jews fleeing persecution. Forced to convert to Christianity yet determined to preserve their identity, these crypto-Jews arrived in secret, blending into society while secretly maintaining their traditions. But their presence did not go unnoticed—Lima’s Inquisition relentlessly pursued those accused of secretly practicing Judaism. Join us for a captivating journey into the hidden history of Jewish life in colonial Lima. Discover the struggles, resilience, and legacies of the Sephardic conversos who shaped the city’s past. Through historical records, Inquisition trials, and forgotten stories, we will uncover how this clandestine community navigated faith, survival, and identity in a time of intense persecution.
