Xueta Island explores the fascinating legacy of the Xuetas, a unique group of families on the Balearic island of Majorca who are believed to be descendants of the island’s Inquisition-era Jewish population. Though they were practicing Catholics, the Xuetas were discriminated against until the middle of the 20th century, always forced to marry within their subgroup population. Many are now rediscovering their Jewishness.
