The Suez Crisis and the Jews of Egypt
Lyn Julius documents how Egypt expelled and dispossessed its Jewish community after the 1956 Suez crisis. Between November 1956 and the end of 1958, an estimated 23,000 to 25,000 Jews left Egypt, and nearly all of the roughly 800 businesses the government blacklisted were Jewish owned.
