The following teaser is from an article posted in the January 29, 2015 edition of israelnationalnews.com:
The Portugese Cabinet on Thursday approved a new law giving dual citizenship to the descendants of the Jews expelled or forcibly converted to Christianity during the Spanish Inquisition, in which thousands of Jews were brutally murdered.
It remains to be seen when the law will come into effect; Spain has a similar law waiting for final approval.
According to Associated Press, descendants who can demonstrate “a traditional connection” through “family names, family language, and direct or collateral ancestry” can request citizenship.
