From Harif UK:
Yemeni and Adeni Jews in the 20th century were divided by borders and cultural differences. They were frequently united, however, by their determination to make aliya. Migration to the land of Israel brought tens of thousands of Yemeni Jews to and through Aden over decades: the history of that contact, though often fraught, offers a case study in Jewish solidarity.

Rathaus also wrote a kind of retrospective about his uncle a year after his death in a Berlin Jewish newspaper. So far it hits the same points as a lot of the Yiddish-language biographical mentions and I suspect they were drawing on it.

During Jewish New Year 5699 /1939, the Polish town Szczekociny - 50% Jewish-populated for many centuries - was attacked and torched by the German troops. Surviving Jewswere forced into a ghetto and hatefully exploited until 1942.
On Yom Kippur 5703 / 1942 they would be forced onto a square for deportation in cattle trains to the remote death camp Treblinka.
90 percent were murdered within days.

From Harif UK:
For all the attention the Middle East conflict attracts, the expulsion of nearly a million Jews from Arab countries is rarely acknowledged. This is why Lyn Julius has written ‘Cast Out’, a long-form essay published by the Jewish Quarterly.
For thousands of years, Jewish communities lived across the Middle East and North Africa, forming significant parts of the populations of cities such as Baghdad, Tunis, Cairo and Casablanca. Today, those communities have almost entirely disappeared.

From Harif UK:
Baghdadi Jews have shaped Singapore’s history since 1819, yet their stories often go untold. This talk highlights the lives of David Marshall, Singapore’s first Chief Minister and a champion of inclusive citizenship, and Felice Isaacs, a leading figure in Jewish communal life—both of whom survived Japanese internment and helped rebuild the city. Their resilience and leadership in politics, law, and communal work helped forge Singapore’s multicultural identity—a legacy that still resonates today.

From Hadassah:
Executive Editor Lisa Hostein hosts a discussion with three women shining a light on the Sephardic & Mizrahi experience in the United States. Syrian Jewish writer Esther Chehebar, author of the best-selling novel Sisters of Fortune & a co-host of the new podcast GOLDA Girls; Sarah Levin, executive director of JIMENA, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that advocates for Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, who has Turkish Jewish roots; and Rozeeta Mavashev, North America executive director of Masa Israel, who is of Bukharian Jewish descent, will share their perspectives as well as stories of how their experiences have evolved in an America—now celebrating its 250th birthday—where Sephardic Jews were the first to settle but where Ashkenazi Jews have long comprised the overwhelming majority of the Jewish population.
