Iraq· BaghdadBaghdad Opens First Jewish Museum
Baghdad has opened its first Jewish museum, aiming to preserve the heritage of Iraq's Jewish community, which has a history spanning 2,600 years.
Background
Iraq's Jewish community, once numbering over 150,000, largely emigrated following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and subsequent persecution. Today, only a handful of Jews remain in the country. This museum marks a significant step in acknowledging and preserving a long-standing cultural heritage.
