Un articolo di Sarah Zang per l’Atlantic riprende i risultati di uno studio genetico che ha rilevato l’ascendenza ebraica sefardita di migliaia di sudamericani.

The genetic record now suggests that conversos—or people who shared ancestry with them—came to the Americas in disproportionate numbers. For conversos persecuted at home, the fast-growing colonies of the New World may have seemed like an opportunity and an escape. But the Spanish Inquisition reached into the colonies, too. Those found guilty of observing Jewish practices in Mexico, for example, were burned at the stake.
