THE FORGOTTEN REFUGEES

2005

Category: Uncategorized
  • Description

Description

The Forgotten Refugees is a documentary about the history and destruction of Middle Eastern Jewish communities, some of which had existed for over 2,500 years. Employing extensive testimony of refugees from Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Iraq and Iran, the film recounts the stories of joy and of suffering which nearly a million individuals have carried with them for decades. Segments on the contributions of Middle Eastern Jews to politics, business and music testify to the enormously rich cultures which fleeing Jews left behind. The film weaves personal stories with dramatic archival footage of rescue mission, historic images of exodus and resettlement, and analysis by contemporary scholars to tell the story of how and why the Arab world’s Jewish population declined from up to one million in 1945 to several thousand today.
