... that Samuel Schwarz rediscovered a community of crypto-Jews in Belmonte, Portugal, who had kept their faith secret for centuries? Source: "In 1917 both Samuel’s research for the forgotten Jews and his professional activities as a mine engineer led him to the village of Belmonte, in the Trás-Os-Montes region, where a flourishing Jewish community had existed since the thirteenth century...The explanation for these alterations resides no doubt in the critical need to hide from the vigilant attentiveness of the Inquisition spies during 300 years." [1] and, "In 1917, during a mission in the North of Portugal, mining engineer Samuel Schwarz discovered the Marranos of Belmonte." [2]

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ is needed as @Hportfacts5: only has one previous DYK, but you are welcome to do one anyway as there are over 100 unreviewed nominations. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
