- Abstract
The article discusses the history of Marranos or "secret" Jews posing as Christians in republican Portugal. The antisemitic writings of Portuguese poet Mário Saa are examined, attempts to fund Jewish schools in Lisbon, Portugal are described, and information is offered on the attempts to reintroduce traditional Judaism among the Marrano residents of northern Portugal by military captain Artur Carlos de Barros Basto, Marrano Elias Nunes, and American rabbi Joseph Seban. The memorialization of the Marrano faith in films such as "The Last Marranos" by Frédéric Brenner is discussed along with the establishment of synagogues and missions in Portugal.
