You are invited to a showing of a documentary about the Jewish refugees that were expelled from North Africa and the Middle East after 1948.
The Forgotten Refugees is a 2005 documentary film directed by Michael Grynszpan and produced by The David Project and IsraTV with Ralph Avi Goldwasser as executive producer.
It is an aspect of the Middle East Conflict that is often overlooked.
Over 850,000 Jews were expelled or pushed out because of persecution after 1948. Today these Jews are often called “Mizrahi Jews” and they and their descendents number nearly 40% of Israel’s population.
Though tinged with much sadness, it is also a heartwarming story of people who have faced much adversity but gone on to accept resettlement and rebuilt their lives.
