Genie Milgrom, Kulanu’s Director of Anusim Communities, Visits Pope Francis to Discuss Inquisition Judgements Being Digitized
Kulanu’s Director of Anusim Communities, writer, and researcher Genie Milgrom met with Pope Francis in his private library at Vatican City this week. The private audience was planned by Rabbi Avi and Nehama Tawil, leaders of the European Jewish Community Centre (EJCC) in Brussels. She was accompanied by her husband Michael Milgrom and several members of the EJCC.
During her audience, she was able to clearly explain to the Pope, the historical significance of the digitization as well as the present struggles in each country. The Pope was enthusiastic to help and assigned a Papal emissary to work hand in hand with her to obtain positive results. This was a truly significant and historical moment to regain the identities of those whose lineage was lost during the Spanish-Portuguese Inquisition.
