The documentary begins by explaining that in the 9th century, North Africa and Spain were in the hands of Muslim rulers. Under Muslim rule in Toledo, Spain Jews flourished in the area. The Jews followed the conquest of Islam through North Africa and Spain. On the European continent the three Abrahamic religions met. The Jewish people would transform Europe and transform themselves in turn. The Alhambra in Granada, the Moorish palace in southern Spain, has been described as beautiful with gardens and trees of all kinds. The Muslim and Jewish people united over their love of art, knowledge, music, poetry and philosophy. This era is known as the Golden Age. Spain was in the hands of the Moorish rulers and with this they opened the way for Jewish followers. In Spain the Muslim and Jewish people united to create a new culture similar to the Roman Empire. The Arab cultural foundation was a combination of many other cultures. Some of the cultures that influenced the Arab Renaissance were Greek, Indian and Jewish. With delicate patterns the words found in the Quran were carved on the walls of palaces and mosques. The combination of faith and beauty was seen everywhere. The Arabs have left a profound legacy forever. They immersed themselves in mathematics and science, with the creation of Algebra. They read the works of classical Greek and explored the parts and ways of philosophy. They tolerated and accepted other people. In the 9th century, most Jews lived in Arab lands. Arab culture influenced the Jews causing them to share much of the community; this ideal was widely accepted in the Muslim lands of Spain. In the early 10th century Abdurrahman III established the independent caliphate... in the center of the map... then in the North. The Jews were accused of poisoning the wells which caused the plague. However, the Pope defended them by saying that the Jews themselves were sick. The lands of the East needed the Jews with their trade where they would be safe. Much of modern Judaism was formed by the Ashkenazy. Towards the end of the 14th century the anti-Jewish movement reached Spain. The Spanish wanted to force Jews and Muslims to convert. Thousands of converted Jews were called the New Christians. They converted in public but were still Jews in private. This behavior angered the Spanish who gave the false Christians the name Muranos also known as pig. When the kingdoms of Spain were unified under Ferdinand and Isabella, Jews were killed, tortured and exiled. The Spanish Inquisition required all Jews to convert or leave Spain. The Jews left behind their homes, businesses, culture, history and memories.
