Book Synopsis Iraqi Jews by : Abbas Shiblak

Download or read book Iraqi Jews written by Abbas Shiblak and published by Saqi Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jews of Iraq constituted one of the oldest and most deeply rooted Jewish communities in the world. But in the early 1950s most of them left for Israel, under circumstances that remain the subject of heated controversy. Iraqi Jews: A History examines the role of this community, highlighting the critical years of the late 1940s - after the establishment of the state of Israel - when deep rifts began to appear in Iraqi society. The sad sequence of events that finally led to the mass exodus of Jews in the 1950s was marked by dishonesty on all sides. An impartial and well-documented account of a formerly well-integrated and vibrant community, Iraqi Jews: A History is a landmark in the political and social history of the Middle East.
