The documentary “1506 – The Genocide of Lisbon” is a project developed by the Jewish Community of Oporto.

It was begun in 2021 and its aim was to promote knowledge of Jewish history in Portugal, comparing this event in Lisbon with similar episodes experienced by Jews in many locations over two millennia.

The 7 October 2023 massacre in Israel reinforced the need to show when, where and why the Jews have always been subject to indiscriminate killing which did not spare the lives of people of all ages.
