The Centro de la Memoria Sefardí in Granada, Spain offers information on the culture, history and traditions of the Sephardic Jewish community. (“Sepharad” from modern Hebrew was the name given to Spain or the Iberian Peninsula.) The city of Granada sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, and was once one of the most important cities of the Umayyad Caliphate in the Iberian Peninsula and, after the caliphate’s collapse, the centre of Jewish culture and scholarship. However, in 1492, Spain passed the Edict of Expulsion which ruled that Jews should either convert to Christianity or leave within four months; otherwise, they would be executed. The small museum, which opened in 2013, features maps of the city, a library on Jewish subjects, and other objects that offer a glimpse on the daily lives of Sephardic Jews before their violent expulsion from Spain. In 2015, as a “gesture of atonement“, the Spanish Parliament passed a law that would offer Spanish citizenship to Sephardic Jews without making them give up their current citizenship.
