lol "We left because of many years of persecution,” he said. “When we had an opportunity to escape with the help of the Kurds [in northern Iraq], we took advantage of it. We left from Baghdad, went to the Kurdish area and were driven to the border. We walked across at night." Left behind was the family’s knitting factory, jewelry, carpets and other personal property." How persecuted could they have been? Jews in Iraq, prior to the establishment of Isra'El, were an integral part of the society, if not the elite of the society. Perhaps it depneds on what "persecution" means. It is an enduring story though. len
