The Beth Yaacov Synagogue is a Madrid congregation, the first new synagogue built in Spain since the 1492 expulsion. Through 2020 the opening reported that a number of Jewish families arrived after the 1956 Anti-Semitic violence in Morocco. Today the opening gives the synagogue's address and opening date with no mention of the 1956 violence, and the word is nowhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the congregation's founders fled antisemitic violence in Morocco.
