- Tracing her family back 15 generations to the early 1500s in Spain and Portugal, Genie Milgrom was able to unravel the web of lies and deceit that her family had spun around themselves in order to survive the Spanish Inquisition. This fascinating story brought her on a journey she could have never imagined. It also led her to partner with Jewish Unity Through Diversity Institute and Reconectar to create the Certificate of Sephardic Ancestry help others connect to their Sephardic heritage and gain a greater appreciation of their family legacy.
Here, she is joined by Georgina Garza and Dr. Drora Arussy to help you navigate the Certificate process and submit the research that you conduct.
It is recommended that you read Genie’s first book, "My 15 Grandmothers" (tinyurl.com/15...) where she takes the reader through her journey - from growing up Catholic to finding her Crypto-Jewish lineage and embracing the religion of her ancestors. Her new film, "The Flower and the Stone," is now showing in film festivals around the world.
