The Farhud: When the Holocaust Reached Baghdad - Bundle Eligible   

The mass murder of Jews in Baghdad on June 1–2, 1941, known as the Farhud, is a largely forgotten chapter of Holocaust history. Over the course of two days, hundreds of Jews were murdered and raped in the streets of Iraq’s capital in a brutal pogrom that signaled the deadly reach of Nazi ideology into the Middle East. This program explores how the Farhud was fueled not only by Nazi influence but also by British inaction and antisemitism. Though often overlooked, the Farhud’s legacy still echoes today—in the Middle East, in Europe and North America, and even on college campuses. Join us to examine the historical roots and modern resonance of this pivotal event and its place in the broader context of Holocaust history and antisemitism.

Live In-Person with Video Catch-up. Available 2-3 business days after the live lecture.
