My mother was from Iraq, My father from Egypt - Rachel's Story

Rachel Wahba was born in 1946. Her heritage is Egyptian-Iraqi, yet she was born in India, and grew up stateless in Japan. Rachel’s parents were both faced with challenges growing up in their home countries. Although Jews in Egypt and Iraq have a rich history, they were forced to live as second class citizens. Rachel’s father fled Egypt after Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” became a bestseller. Rachel’s mother lived through the Farhud which took place in Iraq, and fled the country shortly thereafter. Hear more about Rachel's journey in this film by The Mizrahi Project, presented by CUFI.
