History of the Jews of IRAQ –

One Family’s Story of Escape and Redemption

at Cape Cod Synagogue

 

Professor Sammy Shina of the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, will speak about his experiences growing up as a Jew in Baghdad. Beginning with the larger history of Iraq and the artificial borders created in that region during the early twentieth century, he will share the fascinating personal story of his life in Iraq and how, in the early 1950s, his entire family escaped to start new lives in the United States, England and Canada. Prof. Shina will also provide a first-person account of how these Jewish refugees managed to keep their culture and customs while integrating into their new homes.

 

Please join us in this enlightening afternoon!

No charge. Synagogue membership is not required.

Please bring a dessert to share. Fruit and assorted teas will be provided.
