Approximately 1,000 Portuguese students from all over the country visited the Jewish Museum of Oporto, on March 20, to commemorate the National Memorial Day for the Victims of the Inquisition. Their visit included a recently inaugurated memorial bearing the names of hundreds of victims of the Inquisition, an event infamous for its persecution of Jews and Muslims in Spain, Portugal, and later, in Latin America.
The students attended the event at the Jewish Museum of Oporto, marking National Memorial Day. This year, it was moved to March 20 from its usual March 31 date because it coincides with Catholic Easter Sunday.
