Examines the phenomenon of crypto-Judaism, how it began and how it
developed. Relates the history of the Spanish Inquisition from the late
15th to the 18th centuries, in relation to its goal of rooting out and
punishing Judaizers, i.e. Conversos who were charged with returning to
Judaism. The accused were arrested, imprisoned, and tortured, after
which most "repented" and were then punished according to the Church's
rules. Approximately 40% of the Inquisition's victims were Judaizers;
they were the most severely punished, often by flogging, sometimes
forced to serve as galley rowers; 10% of them were killed. Inquisition
archives also provide information about crypto-Jews who attempted to
live double lives amidst great danger.
Michael Alpert is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History of Spain
at the University of Westminster. He is the author of A New
International History of the Spanish Civil War and has published
articles on the subject of Cryptojudaism and the Inquisition.
