“The Spanish government presented a bill last month that would grant citizenship to Jews forced into exile from Spain by the Inquisition in 1492. The plan, expected to pass easily in Parliament, aims to right a past wrong and honor the loyalty of communities that ‘do not hold a grudge’ against a country that forgot them, according to the bill. According to Spain’s bill, to be eligible for dual citizenship, applicants will also have to take a Spanish culture test and have their ancient ties to the nation vetted by experts. The Spanish government is expecting a massive response, according to reports in the Spanish news media.”
