Between Iran and Zion:

Jewish Histories of 20th Century Iran

Iran is home to the largest Jewish population in the Middle
East, outside of Israel. Drawing on interviews, newspapers,
family stories, autobiographies, and previously untapped
archives, Lior B. Sternfeld analyzes how Iranian Jews
contributed to Iranian nation-building projects, first under
the Pahlavi monarchs and then in the post-revolutionary
Islamic Republic.

Evie Litwok never thought that someone like her could end up in prison, much less solitary confinement. Come hear her experience of denied human rights, which millions of incarcerated U.S. men and women continue to suffer from,
and how her connection to Judaism became her lifeline to hope.
