A 700-book collection reflecting the history of the local community.

Eighty years since the farhud.

Islamic Empires.

Footage of Hanukkah in Baghdad in the 1990s.

And one Iraqi Jew’s reminiscence.

A visit to the Shorja market, once the vibrant heart of Baghdadi Jewry.

In the interwar years, many Iraqi Jews strove to foster a modern Iraqi national identity nurtured by Arabic culture; the nation wouldn’t have them.

A new anthology of poems about Baghdad through the ages recalls the rich Jewish culture that Iraqi authorities have sought to erase from history.
