The Sephardic Jewish communities of Amsterdam or London are Benei Anusim Communities?



  The Sephardic Jewish communities of Amsterdam, London and other parts of the world have a Bnei Anusim origin. Proof of this are for example the names of the members of these communities, they all changed their names. Only some of the Sephardim who left Spain and Portugal before the expulsion decree retain their surnames. Surnames as Bendaham, Abecassis, Benhaim, etc. These are surnames that did not change. In the other hand, in the communities of Amsterdam or London members had surnames like Carvajal, Mendoza, Robles, Rodriguez, Macias, Fernandez, Pereira, etc.. They all lived as Christians in Spain and Portugal for centuries. The decree of expulsion of the Jews in Spain dates from the late fifteenth century and they left Spain and Portugal in the seventeenth century all of them were forced to convert to Christianity. They are all children of forced, B'nei Anusim.
