Tour Global Jewish Life: Mexico City

We invite you on a virtual tour through the history of the Jews of Mexico City, touching on episodes from the sixteenth century, when crypto-Jews first arrived on scene, all the way to the twentieth century. We will learn about the origins of the various communities, their establishment in the city’s neighborhoods, their identity spaces for the living and the dead, their dreams, and achievements. Our tour guide, Mónica Unikel-Fasja, brings her love for Mexico City’s historic streets to center of her guided tours. In addition to a virtual exploration of the sights and sounds of Jewish Mexico City, you’ll enjoy her collection of testimonies by Jewish immigrants that bring depth and passion to the virtual tour experience.
