To mark the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, the Alberto Benveniste Chair of Sephardic Studies is hosting a conversation with Anne Bénoliel Defréville, author of Sefardim. L’épopée d’une famille juive durant 3 000 ans. Sefardim. L’épopée d’une famille juive durant 3 000 ans.
In a discussion led by Fernando Pancorbo Murillo and Susana Bastos Mateus, we explore a work that is both a documentary archive and a profound reflection on silence. In Sefardim, the author questions a Jewish identity that remained latent in her family history for decades. By confronting old documents and places that evoke her origins, the author brings to light a diversity of hidden and silenced stories.
