Talk:History of the Jews in Brazil

message: It's sad to see how the "new christians", the first jews to arrive in Brazil, are constantly ignored. Running from inquisition, hoping on a more peaceful life in a new land - and later persecuted right here, in Brazil, forced to be converted or die - and even being killed anyway. The families Cardozo, Almeida, Gomes, Lobo, Sá, Coelho, Martins, Oliveira, Cerqueira, many of their descendents secretly among us. A bloody history, that becames more and more painful as it is forgotten. 
During the first times of colonization (1500-1700) Portugal used the new colony for the "degredo", a place to sent all the "degredados", or the unwanted. Somes sources cites that an absurd number (40%) of degredados were new-christians. Degregados formed near 80% of the population of northeast places like Maranhão. The b'nei anusim presence in northeast Brazil is very significative even nowadays.
I don't understand why we must face resistance even among the jews. The ashkenazi jews, who arrived here in much more favourable situation with freedom of judaism and dominates the jewish organizations as clubs, libraries etc., they refuse to accept the sephardic crypto-jews descendants as jews. They say we should be verified by a rabbinical court, but there are no ones in Brazil, and the b'nei anusim, unlike many of the ashkenazis who arrived here in the last century (mainly in rich states like Rio or São Paulo), have no financial conditions for such travels. In fact, some seems "unconfortable" to recognize that many of us nordestinos - the poorer region of Brazil and the most sufferes of regional prejudice here - are, in fact, jews. They do not want theses jews to come back.

message: Hi. I've made a minor change regarding the capital initials of "judeu brasileiro", since words denoting nationality, ethnicity and religion are NOT written with capitalized initial letters in Portuguese.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wthwiki (talk • contribs) 07:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
