An American scholar engaged in research for a history of Mexican Jewry reported here today that secrets of the Spanish Inquisition covering material on early Jewish families in Latin America are being made known to scholars by Mexican authorities.
Dr. Seymour Liebman, formerly of Miami, said that records of the Catholic church tribunal covering several hundred years are now being made available. He said the scribes of the Inquisition left records “almost fantastic in wealth of detail and completeness” on some of the tribunal’s trials. He added that thousands of human dramas, “more exciting than any work of fiction,” are in the records.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
