Art historian Roman Grigoriev’s Lecture: “The Other Jews”, delves into a less familiar Jewish group in 17th-century Amsterdam: Ashkenazi Jews. When discussing Jews in Amsterdam during this period, the focus is often on Jews from Spain and Portugal, who were more prominent in terms of social and cultural standing.
When did Ashkenazi Jews arrive at Amsterdam and where from? How did they coexist with the Sephardic community? What were the differences between them? and how did they integrate into the city’s multicultural society?
