It is always forgotten the history and the importance of many Sphardic Jews that lived in Brazil all the time during the colonization. I am not talking about the jews of Dutch Brazil, I am talking about the other jews that lived in Brazil between the end of Dutch rule and the Independence Declaration. They escaped from the persecution that was taken up in the Iberian Peninsula and lived as "Crypto-Judeus" in the colony.This article also forgets the great number of Marranos, New-Christians (Cristãos Novos) that lived in Brazil since the start of the colonization, people of truly jewish origin, that lived an persecuted life in that country, and do not mention they is ignore their fight and battle through the times. For example, New-Christians are openly discriminated, including the own king of Portugal advised members of his court to never marry a person with New-Christian blood(inspite of this, we can also remember that the kings of the Bragança Dinasty have an ancient jewish ancestor, Inês Pires). The people of jewish origin were prohibited to occupy public charges like, for example, to be a member of a municipal chamber. This article simply ignore the existence of these jewish citzens, that is a pain, it remembers just a moment in colonial brazilian history and the recent history of the arrival of Jews in Brazil. I would like to make clear my protest, because it is a great historical crime forget these people, this article do not remember that they have descendants, that some of these descendants are attempting to rebuild their past consciense. Forgoting the colonial jewish ancestors in a powerful knowledge vehicle is to say to these past researchers that their ancestors have no importance in the brazilian jewish history, is like saying that there was not these people in the past. Excuse me, but this forgetfulness is an offence to all who descend from these jews. Please, would be a great pleasure to have this important part of our past registered in this magnificent encyclopedia.
