The Chuetas, descendants of Mallorcan Jews who converted to Christianity but suffered antisemitism well into the 20th century, are now reclaiming their heritage and identity in the face of what they consider their main enemy: oblivion. This is explained by Chueta journalist Miquel Segura, who has dedicated much of his life to researching the group's past and who defends the need to preserve and disseminate a history he considers unique in Spain and a rarity worldwide. Although it is popularly stated that the Chuetas are descendants of Mallorcan Jews from one of the fifteen traditionally recognized lineages—Aguiló, Bonnín, Cortés, Forteza, Carpintero, Martí, Miró, Picón, Piña, Pomar, Segura, Tarongí, and Valón—the more complex lineage is more complex. "A Chueta is a descendant of Jewish converts, but not all Jewish converts in Mallorca are Chuetas," he explains.
