From Sepharad to the New World – from the Shtetl to the Pampas
After 1497, the Jews living on the Iberian Peninsula (many of whom were forced converts, known as Marranos or Conversos) were left with little choice but to flee westwards to the New World.
Centuries later, countless Jewish people would follow their example.

David Ben Gurion on the Negev:
«The Negev is one of the Jewish Nation’s safe havens.»

«Remembering is painful. It shocks, silences and makes us cry out all at once. Nevertheless, it is imperative that we face even the most depressing truths in our history. We have an obligation, not only to the victims, their families and descendants to do so, but also to ourselves. How else will we grasp the insoluble relationship between the ability to remember and the ability to master our future?»
Professor Rita Süssmuth, Germany
