The Iraqi government, under color of law, stripped the Iraqi Jews of their property, including religious and cultural artifacts, starting in 1952. Rescued by US soldiers in 2003 from a flooded basement of the Iraqi secret police, the Iraqi Jewish Archive consist of over 4,800 books and artifacts, including the records of the last Jewish education center in Iraq: The Frank Iny School. Presently, the US and Iraqi governments are planning to return those same archives to a politically unstable Iraq. One day there will be little hard evidence for the community to prove they ever existed in Iraq. Moreover, this same plight is being inflicted upon other minorities in the Middle Eeast. The NYSJFF is please to present the world première of this eye-opening feature documentary that include personal stories of escape, how the archives were discovered, and what the archives mean to future generations to come.
