the final chapter of this glorious community, from the rise of the Ba’ath Party in 1968 and the beginning of Saddam Hussein’s government. Over six years, dozens of Jews were been kidnapped, banned, tortured and murdered, many were accused of spying forIsrael and hundreds smuggled through Kurdistan and Iran to Israel. The last Jews managed in 1974 to get visas to England and leave Iraq. Their confiscated Jewish property has not been restituted.
