Jewish Community of Oporto

Throughout the day, students learned that Jews were present in the territory long before the founding of the kingdom in the twelfth century and that they were linked to its development.

Ms. Barys expressed interest in exploring opportunities for collaboration between the Polish Embassy and the Holocaust Museum of Oporto.

2,500 students participated in the event supported by the British Embassy in Portugal.

The organization reacted to some comments on social media with a request for compensation of 300 thousand euros.

The event included the online participation of Major Rafael Rozenszajn, spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces in Portuguese.

Israeli Ambassador: “The key difference between today and then is the Jewish people were unprotected whereas now we have a strong state with the right as well as the ability to defend itself.”
