A fascinating and important book."-Sir Martin Gilbert "An inside look at an inside look at the last decades of Jewish daily life in Baghdad, Memories of Eden records the forgotten details and preserves the sights and smells, joys and anxieties, of those final pivotal years."-Edwin Black. New York Times Best-Selling Author of Banking on Baghdad and IBM and The Holocaust "Memories of Eden is a superb account of a long forgotten time-indeed a time which is barely imaginable now, given the hatreds that currently exist in the Middle East. Until World War II, Jews and Muslims lived side by side. Shamash writes: `We were treated as equals and accepted on our own merit until the poison of Nazism and Arab nationalism entered the bloodstream. The evil spread like a bad, contagious disease.' It still does so."-William Shawcross, Author of Allies: The U.S, Britain, and Europe in the Aftermath of the Iraq War "One cannot help but feel the parallels with Iraq's current strife-as Violette grows to womanhood amid a vanishing past, her very survival reminds us of Iraq's repeated scattering of history, neighborhoods, and people."-Heather Raffo. Author and Actress of Heather Raffo's 9 Parts of Desire According to legend, the Garden of Eden was located in Mesopotamia, today's Iraq, and for millennia Jews resided peacefully there. Memories of Eden: A Journey Through Jewish Baghdad reconstructs the final years of the oldest Jewish community in the world, using the letters and other writings that Violette Shamash (1912-2006) sent to her daughter Mira Rocca and son-in-law, the British journalist Tony Rocca, over a period of twenty years. Collected and edited by the Roccas, the writings compose a deeply textured memoir-personal, yet revealing of the complex dynamics of the Middle East. Shamash creates an exquisitely detailed portrait of life in the City of Caliphs, beginning near the end of Ottoman rule in 1917 and running through the British Mandate, the emergence.

Memories of Eden
EN NWISBN: 9780955709500 bzw. 0955709504, in Englisch, neu.
Memories of Eden evokes a bygone era - when pre-WW2 Baghdad was one-third Jewish and interfaith relations were harmonious. When Violette was born, Mesopotamia had been Ottoman for some 600 years, until redrawn as Iraq by the British when Violette was eight years old. This bittersweet memoir tells of a childhood spent in the city of Caliphs, Scheherazade and the land of the Garden of Eden, of traditions passed down over the generations, and captures vividly the elusive quality of a scene totally at odds with our image of today's Iraq. As a privileged young woman growing up with her extended family in the city of The Thousand and One Nights, Violette re-lives the excitement of a vibrant society coming to terms with daily life, first under Ottoman, then British, and finally, pro-Nazi rule, which ended in disaster for the Jews of Iraq, who were brutally attacked in two days of slaughter in May 1941 while British troops stood by, under orders not to intervene.The pogrom, which sounded the death-knell for the oldest community in the Diaspora, has been sidelined in history. Now, in a final section in the memoir, the editors reveal the steps that led to the catastrophe and the British bungling that brought it about. Like Anne Frank's diary, "Memories of Eden" tells of an easy and happy childhood, of growing maturity and sophistication, and then shrinking circumstances, victimisation and, finally, flight.

Violette Shamash, Books, Biography and Memoir, Memories of Eden: A Journey Through Jewish Baghdad, According to legend, the Garden of Eden was located in Iraq, and for millennia, Jews resided peacefully in metropolitan Baghdad. Memories of Eden: A Journey Through Jewish Baghdad reconstructs the last years of the oldest Jewish Diaspora community in the world through the recollections of Violette Shamash, a Jewish woman who was born in Baghdad in 1912, sent to her daughter Mira Rocca and son-in-law, the British journalist Tony Rocca. The result is a deeply textured memoir—an intimate portrait of an individual life, yet revealing of the complex dynamics of the Middle East in the twentieth century.Toward the end of her long life, Violette Shamash began writing letters, notes, and essays and sending them to the Roccas. The resultingbook begins near the end of Ottoman rule and runs through the British Mandate, the emergence of an independent Iraq, and the start ofdictatorial government. Shamash clearly loved the world in which she grew up but is altogether honest in her depiction of the transformation of attitudes toward Baghdad’s Jewish population. Shamash’s world is finally shattered by the Farhud, the name given to the massacre of hundreds of Iraqi Jews over three days in 1941. An event that has received very slight historical coverage, the Farhud is further described and placed in context in a concluding essay by Tony Rocca.
