Jewish Community of Oporto

The Mekor Haim Choir will sing three songs in Ladino.

From the end of the afternoon, men, women and children began to arrive at the synagogue for a party that only ended close to midnight.

"If the strongest Jewish community in Portugal was the target of a criminal scheme of that type, just imagine how many people without a voice have been victims of even worse persecutions.”

"The registrars responsible for the IRN inquiry agreed to be used and abused to attack the only Portuguese Jewish community with full synagogues, full museums, films, the one that certified Jews".

"We do not forget in the past we were robbed of all our assets, houses, even the cemetery was destroyed", said Rabbi Asaf Portal, one of Oporto’s rabbis  

Production of the film was scheduled for 2022, but was postponed due to an anti-Semitic campaign that targeted the community and is now being investigated internationally.
