The Marranos and the Inquisition

In 1391, a third of Spain’s Jews were murdered and a third became Christians. This marked the beginning of the Marranos and the Inquisition – a reign of terror lasting 300 years whose aim was to eradicate Jewish heresy. Nowadays there is no commemoration anywhere of the existence of the Inquisition in Spanish history. But in Granada the crew comes upon an exhibition of tools of torture that were used by the Inquisition, and in Toledo, in a gallery of contemporary art which used to be an Inquisition prison, the crew filmed the torture dungeons.
