Shamash Museum Opens
The “Shamash” Museum opened on al-Rashid Street in central Baghdad, in the building of a historic Jewish school founded in 1928. It documents the history and heritage of Iraqi Jews through documents, photographs, religious artifacts, and school records. More than a thousand people visited on its first day, and some Iraqis recalled their Jewish neighbors, most of whom left the country; around 120,000 Iraqi Jews emigrated between 1950 and 1951. Jewish presence in Mesopotamia dates back more than 2,600 years, and today only a very small number of members of the community remain in Iraq.
