The Lost World of the Egyptian Jews: First-person Accounts from Egyptýs Jewish Community In the Twentieth Century
This collection of 28 interviews offers a unique glimpse into the lives of middle-class Egyptian Jews in the years leading up to their departure from the country. The stories are a testament to the charm and diversity of their experiences, which were marked by contradictions and complexities.
As a window into the past, these oral histories not only capture the rich way of life of Egyptian Jews but also reveal their deep connection to the land and its people.
