In the 1920s, several small communities still preserving secret Jewish practices, although with many Christian interference, were identified in Portugal. Artur Barros Basto (1887-1961), a captain of the Portuguese army and Jewish descent, had a key responsibility in the recovery of Judaism in Portugal. He was responsible for the construction of the Porto synagogue - the largest in the Iberian Peninsula - opened in 1939. In 1996, to remember the five centuries-long standing Jewish presence in Porto, a black granite headstone was erected on a wall of the Monastery of São Bento da Vitória. It remembers the Jews relevance in Porto city and their abrupt expulsion and/or forced conversion. In 2003, during some works in an old building located at number 9 of "Rua de São Miguel", hidden behind a wall, a "hekhal" or "aron" - the closet where the Torah was kept - was discovered. The Porto Holocaust Museum (MHP) was created in 2021 by the Jewish Community of Porto (CIP/CJP) in partnership with B'nai B'rith I
