MARRANOS RETURNING TO FAITH
£h One of tho mod painful chapters in the history of Jewish
martyrology has been the Spanish Inquisition-
S Now a significant twist to that chapter has been taken in
~ Israel with the return to the land of a group of 28 Marram*?
S3 who arrived in the country with radiant expectancy of being re-
« absorbed in the ancient faith after a lapse of almost 500 years,

•-s We shall never know how many Jews were lost as victims
£ in the aberration that was called the Inquisition. We shall never
£ know how many Marram) s there are throughout the Spanish
£ speaking countries of the world who are still retaining some form
| of remembrance of their Jewish roots. Most likely they are few
P in number.
However, the return to Israel last week of four families of
Marranos from Palma de Majorca in the Balleraic Islands is an
H event of utmost importance, not alone because it marked
O time since the Spanish Inquisition that its victims had r«turned
OH-to the land and its roots, but because H could angur and en-
S3 courage the return of many others.
£► According to one of the returnees there are some 500,00(1
W conscious Marranos fan Spain today, most of them wishing to ml-
^ grate to Israel and to openly reidentify themselves with the Jewish
g; people. This may be an exaggerated figure but the significance
0f the story lies not in numbers, but in the fact that not even
| SOO yearslave been able to extinguish the Jewish awareness,
^ however slight, of the victims of the brutal Inquisitipn.
History is cruel. But obviously in time it finds a corrective

this . It is absolutely controlled.”’
Still, if it was, there was little evidence of the filterization opeiat-
ing efficiently.
Following the tour, we went back to the editorial part of Pravda.
We chatted for a while. Strelnikov offered me a cigarette, which I
declined. He took out his lighter and lit his. He pointed to the Life
magazine emblem on it. “A friend of mine on the staff gave it to me.
We were good friends while I was stationed in New York for nearly
seven years.” He blew a puff of smoke as if he were reminiscing over
his New York assignment. Then he said, ‘‘Can I show you anyth .g
else, Mr. Wisch? Can Mr. Zakharov show you something?”
“No. Thank you. You’ve been most generous. I want to thank you
for your hospitality.”
“You are welcome. Maybe we shall see each other again ?
“Perhaps, “I answered as Zakharov 'dashed away and Strelnikov
took the steps one at a time, a cloud of smoke preceding him.
What was he thinking? About the possibility of helping on the
TV exchange? Wondering what kind of “characters ’ they have in the
Lone Star State of Texas? Or wa's there a bit of nostalgia as he walked
into the cloud of smoke that led to his office? And was it possible that
a bit of New York or Washington invaded his thoughts?
For the people.
Who was to know but Strelnikov himself?
Slatykov who was a dazed spectator knew something. While put-_
ting on our overcoats Sergei was a steeplechase of smiles.
Walking toward our limousine, he said, “What a day this has been!
“Imagine,” he exclaimed, “I got to see Pravda!”
“You mean you’ve never been here before?”
“Oh, no. Not everybody goes to Pravda. This was my first time.”
Then I realized, too, that even the guides in New York City do not
get to see the inner sanctum of the New York Times, or the New York
Daily News.
However, in the United States, one can usually walk up to the front
desk and ask for a tour.
