ARE YOU JEWISH?.CONVERTED JEWISH IN SPAIN.

CHRISTJUDAISM IN SPAIN

Thanks to the history it had been proved that jewish people were in the Iberian Peninsula in the first century and they spread across Spain and Portugal. We come from them because they create spanish and portuguese surname adapting our language.

Acording to the last investigations, the present jewish people, "sensu latu", aren't a clear unity from a anthropological-physical point of view. The sephardic jewish (spanish) are, overall people that belong to the "Mediterranean Race", meanwhile the asquenasitas people have not only alpinos and above all dinaricos features but also some kind of proportion of mediterranean elements.

For this reason, it's no strange that, in theory, many Moroccan Hebrew and from the other lands next to Spain can be easily distiguish from the spanish people or some kind of them. Although some anthropologists don't think so, the experience shows that the concept of mediterranean race is something generic and insufficient. So, when people from countries where there is a strong presence of Hebrew comunities arrived at Spain, from all the points of view, they emphasize the JUDAIC aspect of some spaniards.

The jewish people were sent off from Spain in 1492. Those who went on staying here they became catholic and some of them until 1700 they did secret practices of judaism. They were caught "in fraganti" (red-handing) burnt, convict and finally executed. They lived under filthy conditions as poor as a church mouse. After the expulsion edict, the Catholic King and Queen ordered confiscate all their means. They were persecuted and low-regarded by a society called old christians, when in 1391, 101 years later before the expulsion, a masive conversion to the christ faith and a bloody massacre due to religious matters.

Families such as Fuster, Pujol, Pardo, Climent, Sanchis, Salvador, Serra, and more than 750 spanish surnames (with a jewish origin) were executed by the Inquisition in Castilla, Aragón, Mallorca y Valencia. The court of Valencia from 1478 up to 1530 punished and rubbed out lots and lots of them for going back to secret practices of judaism. They were called "marranos" or secret jewish people. They run into problems until the begining of 1700 and once they came converted, some of them were famous tradesmen and very well grounded in every area they enrol. The March (banking) became from converted jewish.
