"COLOMBO'S TRUTH", by Lucette Aleki
The truth about Cristovão Colombo origins, the reason why he kept it so secret and unknown to those who surrounded him.
A Portuguese? Sure, but why the shame and so much secret? The reason why was clear, Colombo was a Portuguese from Jewish ancestry that was forced to hide his origens due to the persecution of the Jewish people and command to leave Portugal given by the king.
Colombo allowed both the Portuguese, the Spanish and the Italian to exploit, nurture and live with one of their biggest historical lies, while he certainly mocked them in his heart for being the nations causing misery and distress to his people, the Jewish.
In the drawing we see represented the old Cuba, in Portugal, and the new Cuba, discovered and named by Colombo reborning a place he surely loved and desired to keep alive.
