Affirmed and Hidden Identities: from the Inquisition to the Shoah

To decide to forget Judaism is not a new phenomenon. Since time
immemorial, Jews have faced the option of assimilating to the dominant
culture. Whether it be the Hellenized Jews against whom the Maccabees
rose up, or those who were forced to convert to Catholicism in Spain and
Portugal at the time of the expulsion, or more recently those
assimilated in Enlightenment Europe, the idea of abandoning Judaism has
gone hand in hand with Jewish history. However, in these times of fluid
identities, where there are people who claim Sephardi ancestry to obtain
citizenship, and there are those who rediscover their Jewish past that
their parents tried to bury, the options on how to remember or forget
Judaism are multiplying. Professor Nahon-Serfaty approaches the
subject following the thread of diverse Jewish experiences.
