Forget Baghdad

Looks at a community of people known as "Sephardis," "Mizrahim," or "Arab Jews." These are people of Jewish religion and Arab culture, who have long found themselves caught between warring world-views. Uprooted virtually overnight at the founding of the modern Israeli state, many Sephardis lost first their homeland and then, with the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, their very cultural identity.
