Commemorating the Farhud, 80 Years Later 03 Jun 2021 share this on
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Farhud, Dr. Sasha Goldstein-Sabbah of the Amsterdam Jewish Historical Museum and Doreen Dangoor, an Iraqi Jew who lived through the events of the Farhud (Arabic for ‘violent dispossession’), joined the World Jewish Congress for the latest installment of WebTalks.
On 1 June 1941, the Nazi-inspired pogrom erupted in Baghdad on 1 June 1941. When the violence ceased the next day, over 180 Jews were dead, thousands injured, and the community was forever changed. The Farhud was shocking for the Jews of Iraq, which comprised who included some of the country’s most successful businessmen, cultural figures, and intellectual leaders. Within a decade, the overwhelming majority of Iraqi Jews would emigrate to Israel.

June 1, 2021 marked the eightieth anniversary of the Farhud, the massive pogrom in Iraq which resulted in nearly two hundred Iraqi Jews murdered and hundreds of others raped and wounded. The
Wall Street Journal commemorated the anniversary by publishing an op-ed by a survivor of the Farhud, Joseph Samuels. The
Washington Post, however, took another approach.
The
Post not only failed to note the anniversary, it published an op-ed that, if implicitly, called for dismantling the world’s sole Jewish state.
The op-ed, entitled “Opposition to a ‘one-state’ solution is often rooted in bigotry” and authored by H.A. Hellyer of the Carnegie Endowment for Middle East Peace, evidenced a historical illiteracy that, even in today’s day and age, is truly astonishing.
