1492

This was the year of the discovery of America and the exile of the Jews of Spain. Navon meets Spaniards who see themselves as descendants of these Jews. He traces the footsteps of Don Avraham Seneor, the Royal Rabbi, most prominent of the Jewish apostates of 1492. He uncovers the role of the Marranos in the discovery of America and tackles the question that concerns so many Spaniards: Was Columbus a Jew? Navon seals his journey with a visit to the Marranos of Portugal.
