The Forgotten Refugees

Wed 13 Jun, 12 pm. 3800 Kalmia Ave, Boulder, 80301. Linda Loewenstein, Executive Director, 303-447-3313, bjcf@qwest.net. Boulder Jewish Community Center - [events]

Join us for a short film and discussion With Saul Basri Director Michael Grynszpan documents a civilization that took 16 centuries to grow to a million souls, and just a few decades to whither to nearly none. In 1945 there were up to one million Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa outside the Palestine Mandate - many living in communities dating back more than three millennia. Today, there are several thousand. Who are these Jews? What precipitated their mass-exodus in the 20th century? Where did they go? And why don't we know their stories? $6 for film, talk and lunch Please RSVP to Kathryn at kathrync. or call (303) 998-1021.
