JGSGB Specialist Talk - 7 Feb 2021 2pm – with Lyn Julius: ‘Uprooted: How 3000 years of Jewish civilisation in the Arab world vanished overnight’
Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is a specialist talk on a Middle East/North African Jewish theme by Zoom.
Date: Sunday 7 February 2021
Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem
Title: Uprooted: How 3000 years of Jewish civilisation in the Arab world vanished overnight
Speaker: Lyn Julius
Description: Until the mass exodus of Christians and Yazidis, the post-1948 displacement of more than 850,000 Jewish refugees was the largest population movement of non-Muslims from the Arab Middle East and North Africa, yet the subject is hardly ever discussed.
Why did Jews leave countries they had been settled in for thousands of years?
What lessons can we learn from the mass exodus of minorities?
What became of the majority who settled in Israel?
How can their cause contribute to peace?
