"Children [of the] coerced [converted] Spanish [Jews]) are the contemporary and largely nominal Christian descendants of assimilated 15th-century Sephardic Jewish anusim. After the forced or coerced conversions of their Sephardic Jewish ancestors to Catholicism, this group of descendants of Jews from Spain and Portugal remained ever since as conversos in Iberia, and also migrated to the Iberian colonial possessions across various Latin American countries during the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the Portuguese colonization of the Americas.Due to historical reasons and circumstances, Sephardic Bnei Ansuim had not been able to return to the Jewish faith over the last five centuries, although increasing numbers have begun emerging publicly in modern times, especially over the last two decades. Except for varying degrees of putatively rudimentary Jewish customs and traditions which had been retained as family traditions among individual families, Sephardic Bnei Anusim became a fully assimilated sub-group within the Iberian-descended Christian populations of Spain, Portugal, Hispanic America and Brazil. In the last 5 to 10 years, however, "organized groups of Benei Anusim in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and in Sefarad [Iberia] itself" have now been established, some as functional communities of openly out Judaizers. Among these organized groups, a few of their members have recently formally reverted to Judaism.The Jewish Agency for Israel estimates the Sephardic Bnei Anusim population to number in the millions. Their population size is several times larger than the three Jewish-integrated Sephardi descendant sub-groups combined, consisting of Eastern Sephardim, North African Sephardim, and the ex-converso Western Sephardim.Although numerically superior, Sephardic Bnei Anusim are, however, the least prominent or known sub-group of Sephardi descendants.
