Members phkrause Posted December 26, 2018 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2018 Dona Gracia Nasi & the Spanish Inquisition’s Underground Railroad Dona Gracia Nasi was a great Jewish hero. For decades she ran an underground railroad for Jews fleeing the Spanish Inquisition and single-handedly supported Jewish communities in Italy, Turkey and Israel. Praised during her lifetime as “the heart of her people”, Dona Gracia Nasi’s story is hardly remembered today. That should change; her remarkable story deserves to be known. http://www.aish.com/jw/s/Dona-Gracia-Nasi--the-Spanish-Inquisitions-Underground-Railroad.html?
