This captivating story was first explored in the New-York Historical Society’s past exhibition The First Jewish Americans: Freedom and Culture in the New World. Images featured in this presentation include archival documents, maps, ritual objects, rare portraits, and the 16th-century diary—lost for 80 years—of a Mexican Jewish man persecuted for his faith.

Registration is required by Tuesday, March 15.
