´Sefarad´ is Meeting the Audience

Another 'Movie Night' organized by HEGKOM (Rabbinate Education Foundation) featuring the film 'Sefarad' will be organized on Sunday, March 1st. After the treats served, the film 'Sefarad' will be displayed partly, along with Dr. Seyfi Işman's presentation. Before the movie, Karel Valansi with her commentaries is going to contribute to the evening.

In this movie, the audience will witness, 400 years after Judaism had been banned in 1496, the efforts of Barros Baston, who is a captain in the Portugal Army in the 1930s, trying to help the Crypto-Jews still living in Portugal, who had been forcefully converted to Christianity back in the day, return to their original religion. In the movie that is based on a true story, the experiences of Captain Baston and the history of the Oporto Jews that have reached our time is told.

The movie will be shown with Turkish subtitles.
