Sephardi Voices: The Untold Expulsion of Jews From Arab Lands
By Henry Green & Richard Stursberg
In the decades following the founding of Israel, close to a million Jews were forced from their ancestral homelands in the Middle East, North Africa and Iran. This story of state-sanctioned discrimination, violence and political unrest is told with stunning photography and gripping first-hand accounts from survivors. They tell of violent persecution and daring midnight airlifts—but also of a world left behind, and new lives in new lands. This is a story of Jewish history, of a resilient people finding strength in the face of terrible injustice.
