In the years following the founding of the State of Israel, close
to a million Jews became refugees fleeing their ancestral homelands
in the Middle East, North Africa, and Iran. State-sanctioned
discrimination, violence, and political unrest brought an abrupt
end to these once vibrant communities, scattering their members to
the four corners of the earth. Their stories are mostly untold.
Sephardi Voices: The Forgotten Exodus of the Arab Jews is a window
into the experiences of these communities and their stories of
survival. Through gripping first-hand accounts and stunning
portrait and documentary photography, we hear on-the-ground stories
of pogroms in Libya and Egypt, the burning of synagogues in Syria,
the terrible Farhud in Iraq, families escaping via the great
airlifts of the Magic Carpet and Operations Ezra and Nehemiah,
husbands smuggled in carpets into Iran in search of wives. The
authors also provide crucial historical background for these
events, as well as updates on the lives of some of these Sephardi
Jews who have gone on to rebuild fortunes in London and New York,
write novels, and win Nobel Prizes. Sephardi Voices is at once a
wide-ranging and intimate story of a large-scale catastrophe and a
portrait of the vulnerability of the passage of time.
