Part of "Virtual Tours of Jewish Heritage" – An event series from the National Library of Israel

Jews began returning to Spain in the early 1900s after centuries of absence following the expulsion of 1492. Involved in all fields of science, industry and culture, they have once again contributed their talents and know-how to the development of this country.

Where did David Oliver come from and how did he go about producing what is often considered the best Spanish film ever made? How did Marcos Menkes get his international reputation as a manufacturer of Flamenco dance shoes? Who started the "Prêt à Porter" trend in the wedding fashion industry?

In her own unique and amenable way, Dominique introduces you to some of these figures who settled in Barcelona and whose ideas and innovations reached well beyond the Pyrenées and the coasts of the Mediterranean.
