"My family had to run for 100 years.."

  “I do not know much about being Sephardic (I’m trying really hard to find out more things now), because the last person who was aware in my linage was my great grandma who was young when the erasing of our identity began. My ancestors had to run for 100 years to avoid persecution. They left Andorra (at the border of France and Spain), then Morocco because of Nazis, and then they landed in Lebanon. My great grandma married my great grandpa who was Druze, and then Jewishness was never spoken of until 2021.”
