South of Sepharad: The 1492 Jewish Expulsion from Spain
It is 1492 in Granada, Spain. Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand had just signed the Alhambra Decree which ordered all Jews to convert to Catholicism or leave Spain within three months. Painful decisions had to be made. Vidal ha-Rofeh, a Jewish physician wants to go into exile. His wife, on the other hand, believes they should convert to Catholicism. To add to the chaotic situation, their daughter, who is married to a Catholic, is a converso who stays in Spain subject to the inquisition. Vidal is conflicted and feels it is his duty to care for the sick on the journey into exile, while at the same time he wishes to mend relationships with his family.
