[MES Forum] Speaker Series: A History of Jews in Iraqi Kurdistan in the 20th Century

[McClimans, Melinda]

Dear MES Forum,

I hope your week is off to a great start! This forum on Wednesday might be of interest to you:

Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024, at 2 p.m. Eastern (1 p.m. Central), for the second event in our Spring Speaker Series. Zoom link: http://tinyurl.com/4ezv4wzc<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/tinyurl.com/4ezv4wzc__;!!KGKeukY!0dE3brOjBHXYKJz5sF--AxqlST9FFZ773jnQy0Y3AASSinA6K2lNBdt0YJOUocQSngn8INaLHb597lEB7qCewD9qmA$>. The event is free and open to the public.

During this event, Michael Brill will present, “A History of Jews in Iraqi Kurdistan in the 20th Century.” His presentation will shed light on the movement of individuals, claiming to be Jews or of Jewish ancestry, between northern Iraq and Israel following the 1991 Gulf War and the creation of the Kurdish Autonomous Region. Documentations produced by the Baʿthist security services and what they reveal of this little known chapter in the history of Iraqi Kurdistan will be the basis of this presentation.

Hope to see you there!
