JEWISH FILM NIGHT: THE SILENT EXODUS
Wednesday, 30th June 2010
In 1948 nearly one million Jews lived in Arab lands. But in barely twenty years, they have become forgotten fugitives, expelled from their native lands, forgotten by history. A people whom legend has always associated with "wandering" many of the Jews from Arab lands had lived there for thousands of years and accepted their fate, through good times and bad.
But in 1948, the beginning of their exodus, also saw the birth of the State of Israel. And, while the Arab armies were preparing to invade the young refugee country, the survivors of the Shoah were piling up in rickety boats. The Jews, however, did not receive refugee status; they were ready to rebuild their lives in the West and for many - in Israel - and try to forget their past.
