Iraq's Last Jews is a collection of first-person accounts by Jews about their

lives in Iraq's once-vibrant, 2500 year-old Jewish community and about the

disappearance of that community in the middle of the 20th century. This book

tells the story of this last generation of Iraqi Jews, who both reminisce about

their birth country and describe the persecution that drove them out, the result

of Nazi influences, growing Arab nationalism, and anger over the creation of the

State of Israel.
