You will imagine how the "xuetes" (Converted Jews) used to live and how they were organized in social levels Those of the "orella alta"  (High class) or those of "orella baixa" (Lower class). They lived in the ghetto untill  the last pogrom (1391). Then they were forced to convert  by the Spanish Inquisition. Some of them continued as Cripto-jew", and it was not until the end of the 17th century that the label "xueta" was truly  earned and the whole community was properly Catholic.
The Xuetes have historically been stigmatized and until the first half of the 20th century practiced, and were seen aligated to practice, strict endogamy. Today, an estimated 18,000 people in the island carry Xueta surnames
