The Massacre of the Jews

In 1506, a great tragedy unfolded in Lisbon, Portugal’s capital. Hundreds of Jews were persecuted, tutored and finally killed. The Lisbon Massacre apparently started because of trivial reasons, but soon an angry crowd killed almost everyone on his path accused of being a Jew.

Written by Paulo Mendes Pinto and Susana Bastos Mateus, two Portuguese scholars who are devoted to this subject, The Massacre of the Jews offers a comprehensive view of a historical event that changed the lives of Jews in Portugal.
