Présentation de l'éditeur

From the end of the 15th century until the mid-18th century Spanish Jews carried on Jewish practices in the shadow of the Inquisition. Thos caught were forced to recant or be burnt at the stake in public Autos de Fe. This book describes the private lives of these secret Jews, drawing on their confessions and trial documents. This paperback edition covers the fate of the Crypto-Jews into modern times in Portugal, Spain and elsewhere, where traces still exist and families carry out long-hidden Jewish traditions.
