Ton Tielen appears as a guest to discuss these stories. Then we discuss the actual facts about the beginning of the Portuguese Jewish Community of Amsterdam.

Awesome video! I like this type of format you're doing now
Sephardic jews and moors were expelled from Portugal in 1497. Considering how important they were for comerce and how present they were in portuguese comercial outposts in northern europe I find a bit odd that the end of the 16th century is being considered as the beggining of their community in the netherlands.
Do you have a video about how these people got to Brazil and then to the American colonies? Thanks!
Oh oh the family plot thickens! I sure wish it was real. Did any of these groups move on further to the Rhine?
The Jewish traders came to Amsterdam because there was a little bit more freedom than other places in Europe, and the fact they brought wealth and connections they got more acceptance with the cities wealthy merchants. And at that time you were dependent on your religious community for support so Amsterdam did not have any cost by having them, Amsterdam has alot to thank the Jewish community for that’s also why we use a lot of Jiddisch words until today. It’s a shame they didn’t preserve more of the Jewish neighbourhood even if it was run down more could have been done. The German and Eastern European Jewish community didn’t really see the safardic community as being Jewish as the were more integrated in Amsterdam society.
THNX 🙂👍🏻!!!
It’s Maria NuneS, not NuneZZZ…. I’m Portuguese with Iberian Jews in my family tree.
Now you're finally talking about my mom's side. Yes my mom was Portuguese & Cuban Jewish.
Did the Portuguese capture them as slaves? Why were they on the ship?
What a timely upload, just yesterday I found someone very distant in my tree (mid 1500's) named "Pardo", which is supposedly a Sephardic surname? Or is it possible that is just Spanish/Portuguese? Amazing video btw, do more like these.
