Memory register · custodian, not owner
The first Jews present in Peru were conversos who arrived at the time of the Spanish conquest; under the viceroyalty, the tribunal of the Inquisition in Lima prosecuted those suspected of Judaizing. The modern community took shape mainly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, through the arrival of Ashkenazim from eastern and central Europe and Sephardim from the Near East and North Africa. Established largely in commerce and industry, its members organized in Lima several distinct congregations according to their origins, endowed with synagogues, schools, and communal institutions. Remaining modest in size, the community is well structured and concentrated in the capital.
