Discovering the Museum of Jewish History and the Jewish quarter of Girona, we will talk about how these three words generally summarize the life of the Girona Jewish community in its situation of social minority. How was their daily life; their cultural, political and religious day-to-day; how was their relationship with the Christian society, among others. Together, we will seek answers and ask ourselves new questions.
