Podcast series ‚The Forgotten Exodus‘ tells overlooked stories of Jews from Arab lands – “These are all very powerful, very poignant and emotional stories. They are stories that are largely unknown to the larger world, including many in the Jewish community,” said AJC CEO David Harris. | JNS.org

(August 1, 2022 / JNS) A new limited podcast series from the American Jewish Committee features interviews with Jews whose families left or were forced to flee from Arab lands and Iran in the mid-20th century.
“The Forgotten Exodus,” premiering on Monday, consists of at least six episodes, each focusing on a different tale about a Jewish family from Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Iran. According to AJC, it’s the first narrative podcast series to exclusively focus on the stories of the 800,000 Jews who left or were driven out of their centuries-old communities throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
