Libyan Jews in the Maelstrom of Modern History

Meeting on Sunday 25th October 2020

A frequently overlooked part of modern Jewish history, the Holocaust and expulsion of Jews from Arab countries, is this week's topic, looking at the experience of Libyan Jews. The Holocaust and post-War politics in Libya led the destruction of an ancient Jewish community.

We are delighted to be teaming with Sephardic Horizons. Judith Roumani of Sephardic Horizons will introduce our three speakers who will each give a 15 minute talk on their subject.

  • Vivienne Roumani-Denn, "Libyan Jews in the Fascist Internment Camp of Giado"
  • Danielle Willard-Kyle "'Not within the Mandate: Libyan Jewish Refugees in Italian Displaced Persons Camps"
  • David Meghnagi "Libyan Jewish Refugees and 1967”

Topic: Libyan Jews in the Maelstrom of Modern History: Sunday October 25, 2020 07:00 PM London. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CLOCKS HAVE GONE BACK, THIS IS GMT. Please check your time zone. We believe this is 8pm in Amsterdam/Paris, 9pm in Jerusalem and 3pm in New York. Clocks in America change a week after Europe.
