A film about the mass exodus of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa in the 20th century. The Forgotten Refugees explores the history, culture, and forced exodus of Middle Eastern and North African Jewish communities in the second half of the 20th century. Using extensive testimony of refugees from Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, and Morocco the film recounts the stories - of joy and suffering - that nearly one million individuals have carried with them for so long. The film weaves personal stories with dramatic archival footage of rescue missions, historic images of exodus and resettlement, and analyses by contemporary scholars to tell the story of how and why the Jewish population in the Middle East and North Africa declined from one million in 1945 to several thousand today.

  • We are all brothers and sisters and did use to live fairly peacefully together. Listen, I am constantly mistaken as Arabic by people from Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc. They will even come up to me and start speaking Arabic. I am proud of this actually. Even though I am "jewish" by blood (I do not like religion), my ancestors awhile ago came from places like Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. We are all more closely related than others want to think. I wish more people would realize it.

  • @wilbur164

    If there is a pig here it is yourself. You have no half-Jew in you. You are nothing but a brain-washed Muslim, like the majority of your people.

    By the way, what are you trying to build up? Who is stopping you or, even better, what is stopping you. Zionism? in Tunisia? You have lost what little Jewish mind you had!
