Expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492

Did many or any of the Jews expelled from Spain go to England?

source for the ninth of Av being the date of expulsion? i know its tempting to says otherwise, but i learned that all Jews were expelled by the eighth of Av.

I would like to find out about the Zayas (Jews that were not wanted in Spain,and settled in Cerro Gordo, San lorenzo Puerto Rico.

"We've gone from a period of pillaging the Jews and then suppressing and ignoring their patrimony to a period of rising curiosity and fascination," said Ana María López, the director of the Sephardic Museum in Toledo, a hub of Jewish life before the Jews were expelled or forced to convert to Christianity in 1492 during the Inquisition. Cities and towns across Spain are searching for the remains of their medieval synagogues, excavating old Jewish neighborhoods and trying to identify Jewish cemeteries. Scholars say they are overwhelmed with requests from local governments to study archaeological findings and ancient documents that may validate a region's Jewish heritage.

Like so many other evil, foolish countries that chase the blessings out of their country...

Everybody is aware of the golden ages the Jews enjoyed before decrees of death and expulsion were made against them.We see this in the Inquisition,in Germany before the Holocaust and in other counries aorund the world.Jews of America 'The Golden Medina', should awaken to history repeating itself. True,now our people enjoy material success and good neighbors.But all galus must come to the end,so I call you to join us in the land of Israel,before its too late. The thought 'this would never happen to us' resounds in history.

I have heard theories that Christopher Columbus was really seeking a place for the jews to go. I often think they may have been true.

The expolusion from Spain was the culmination of hatred and dehumanization that was going on in Spain for hundreds of years before 1492. Ghettoization, pogroms and forcible conversions were the norm there before that sad year. The worst of all were those born Jews who turned on the Jewish People with a viciousness which would have done any "Judenrat" member proud. It is no accident that Thomas de Torquemada had a born Jewish grandmother.

Having rid Spain of professing Jews the anti-Jewish forces then turned on the converts to Christianity and their descendants. The Inquisition was a self-financing bureaucracy, just like the SS which learned so much from it, right down to how to define who and what a Jew was and certificates of pure blood.

From the Inquisition, to the Nazis and Communists to the Arab Islamists and their friends the Democrats--especially those who were born Jews, it's a bloody history!
