About this talk
Learn about the Jewish presence in Colombia, its historical roots, how the communities were established, the challenges we faced during the country's Civil War, and how our identity has been shaped by these factors.
My name is Vivianne, and I am a third-generation Jew living in Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia. I will tell you the history of my family and use that as a springboard to introduce you to my community and my country, highlighted with fascinating historical anecdotes. I will also discuss the recent resurgence of people rediscovering their lost Jewish roots.
