On the mass emigration of Jews from Iraq to Israel.,
By A Customer
This review is from: To Baghdad and Back: The Miraculous 2,000 Year Homecoming of the Iraqi Jews (Hardcover)
Between the years 1949 and 1952, over 130,000 Jews immigrated to Israel from Iraq, thanks largely to the efforts of emissaries from Israel. This astounding Zionist accomplishment, known as Operation Ezra and Nehemiah, gave a final and glorious curtain call to the ancient Babylonian exile. Superbly narrated by someone who was in the hub of this modern day miracle. Mordechai Ben-Porat escaped from Baghdad to Israel in 1945, and went back in 1949, on behalf of Israel, to organize and manage the great clandestine emigration of Iraqi Jews to Israel. Throughout his life Ben-Porat served the country of Israel, either as an emissary in Iraq or Iran, or as a member of Knesset and Minister.
