While photographing the Congregation Montefiore Cemetery in Las Vegas, New Mexico, in 1985, Cary Herz first heard whispers about 'the other people.' Thus began a twentyyear search for descendants of cryptoJews, the Sephardic Jews who were forced to convert to Catholicism during the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions centuries ago. Many openly professed Catholicism, but continued to practice the Jewish faith privately.Herz's photographs and the accompanying essays honor the people whose ancestors, through families' oral histories and genealogical records, knew about their heritage. Other New Mexican Hispanics have recently begun to explore their families' customs and are only beginning to examine their possible blended lineage. To help complete her exploration, Herz sought out symbolsgravesites, artifacts, and iconsthat might point toward the presence of the descendants of cryptoJews who came to the New World. There has recently been a renewed interest in cryptoJews, as DNA tests have revealed the Jewish heritage of a number of Hispanic New Mexicans.
