Jews of Egypt

Showing at the “Best of ADIFF” film festival: Jews of Egypt

A documentary
that captures fragments of the lives of the Egyptian Jewish community in the
first half of the twentieth century until their second grand exodus after the
tripartite attack of 1956. An attempt to understand the change in the identity
of the Egyptian society that turned from a society full of tolerance and
acceptance of one another and how it changed gradually by mixing religious and
political views into a society that rejects the others. A film about the
cosmopolitan Egypt in the
40′s and Egypt
in the new millennium. How did the Jews of Egypt turn in the eyes of Egyptians
from partners in the same country to enemies.
