Brief history of brazilian jews

A Brief History of the Jews of Brazil The history of Jews in Brazil is a unique case, because we do not know of many other countries in which they have been significantly present in the very first movements of that nation’s history, continuously participating in its economic and social development. In fact, since the “discovery“ of Brazil to the present time, the Jews, almost without interval, openly or disguised, have been integrated into the processes of formation of Brazilian nationality. My aim in this paper is to provide a summary of Jewish history in Brazil by highlighting four major historical periods: The First Portuguese Period (1500-1630); The Dutch Period (1630 -1654); The Second Portuguese Period (1654-1822); and The Cosmopolitan Period (1822-1966).

As a prime example of this involvement, in Henry the Navigator’s "Nautical…

to Conservatória which will travel for another 26km. History: With Catholic colonization, the village earns initially the name of Santo Antonio do Rio Bonito, in honor of the patron of the city and the river that runs through the region.
