I invite you to a visual tour through the history of the Jews in Mexico, focused mostly on the twentieth century, when the current community was formed, but touching on episodes from the sixteenth century, when crypto-Jews first arrived without the possibility of creating an open community due to the Inquisition.
We will learn about the origins of the various communities, their establishment in the city’s neighborhoods, their identity spaces for the living and the dead, their dreams and achievements.
It will be a visual feast thanks to the incredible historical photos I have received from immigrant families, their first-hand testimonies, Yiddish newspaper advertisements, and other invaluable documents.
