The ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) is dismantling the Sephardic citizenship law, betraying Spain’s promise to atone for the Alhambra Decree and the horrors of the Inquisition.

Tens of thousands of Inquisition survivor descendants are now being cynically rejected or even cruelly having their citizenship revoked, after investing years of time and money to comply with Spain’s rigorous application process. The Spanish government’s illegal actions are a fresh insult to historical injury, especially for the Anusim (Crypto-Jews), those who are no longer Jewish on account of the forced conversion and centuries of persecution endured by their ancestors. This is a matter of life and death for some, such as the Venezuelan Sephardic refugees in Spain, who have already been threatened with deportation.

Join the American Sephardi Federation’s campaign to demand Spain uphold the rule of law by keeping its promises to Sepharadim and Anusim.

An integral partner of and based at New York's Center for Jewish History, the American Sephardi Federation represents Greater Sephardic voices in Jewish communal and diplomatic affairs as a member of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and World Jewish Congress.
