Lyn Julius also covered this history in her book How Uprooted: 3000 Years of Jewish Civilization in the Arab World Vanished Overnight.
I24 News ran a special report, “Remembering the Farhud pogrom that ended Iraqi Jewish life, 81 years later,” and Tabby Refael wondered about the number of people who don’t know about—or at least don’t talk about—the Farhud.
