The Spanish Inquisition in 10 Minutes

Dark robes, whispered confessions, and a chapter of Jewish history that still chills today. In The Spanish Inquisition in 10 Minutes, we'll unpack how a mix of politics, religion, and paranoia led to centuries of persecution for Jews in Spain. From forced conversions and secret "conversos" practicing Judaism in basements, to the infamous tribunals and expulsions of 1492, the Inquisition reshaped Jewish life in Europe and the Middle East. But it's not just tragedy—we'll also highlight the resilience of those who kept their traditions alive under impossible pressure. Expect a quick dive into the history, the human stories, and the long-lasting impact on Jewish identity. Ten minutes, one heavy topic, and a reminder that Jewish history is as much about survival as it is about struggle.
