Telling The Untold Story Of Jews From Arab Lands: An Insightful Conversation With Filmmaker Martin Himel

In the late 1940s, nearly a million people indigenous to the Middle East were effectively exiled from their homes and faced violent repression, simply for who they were. But if you think their story has been told by the news media, think again. They were Jews from Arab lands and Iran, numbering some 800,000 strong. And although their stories vary, their history is as relevant today as it was 75 years ago. To help us delve deeper into these Jews and their largely untold story, we are joined by Martin Himel. Martin is an award-winning filmmaker, and he joins us to discuss his new film, The Forgotten Exodus: Jews from Arab Lands, which tells the story that the news media has forgotten.
