Dear AJC Friend, |
Most people know about the murder of six million European Jews in the Shoah. Some know about the antisemitic pogroms of Imperial Russia decades earlier. But not many people are familiar with the epic survival story of the more than 800,000 Jews who left or were driven from their homes in Arab nations and Iran.
The Forgotten Exodus, a new limited podcast series presented by American Jewish Committee (AJC), explores the rich heritage of these Jews, some of whom fled antisemitism and found refuge in the State of Israel.

Each Monday, for the next six weeks, AJC will release a new episode of The Forgotten Exodus, the first-ever narrative podcast series to focus exclusively on Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews. Watch the video trailer below.

Our first episode is now available!
Tune in to hear Carol Isaacs, an Iraqi Jew who is a well-known musician and cartoonist, discuss the heartbreaking saga of the Farhud, the antisemitic pogrom, that led her family from the streets of Baghdad to London.
Subscribe to The Forgotten Exodus, so that you don’t miss upcoming episodes featuring prominent Jewish voices from Egypt, Iran, Yemen, Libya, and more.
Join us as we remember The Forgotten Exodus.
Sincerely,
Manya Brachear Pashman
Host of AJC’s The Forgotten Exodus
