Silent Exodus, The

Jews had been living in Arab lands for thousands of years. There were approximately a million Jews living in Arab countries between 1946 and 1974 who had accepted their fate in good times and bad times, enduring pogroms and persecutions for hundreds of years. Some Jews even considered their survival a miracle; many were expelled from the Arab world. But for others 1948 marked the beginning of their exodus with the birth of the state of Israel. These Jews did not get special status. They came from Aden, Yemen, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya. Though they had lost everything and sometimes even relatives, memories and cemeteries, it was in Israel and the West that they were able to rebuild their lives. They asked for no compensation, nor any right to return, nor even wished that their story be told. Theirs was a Silent Exodus.
