The Forgotten Refugees

• The David Project’s The Forgotten Refugees Curriculum is a three-lesson, user-friendly and dynamic educational program for ages 13-18 that highlights the history and culture of the Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewry.
• The interactive curriculum is suitable for a variety of educational settings including Jewish middle schools and high schools; synagogues (parallel education and bar/bat mizvah projects), Hebrew schools and youth groups.
• At the center of the curriculum is The David Project & Isra TV award-winning documentary film The Forgotten Refugees that explores the history, culture, and forced exodus of Middle Eastern and North African Jewish communities in the second half of the 20th century.
• The Forgotten Refugees Curriculum is an engaging and stimulating way to explore the chapter of the Jewish history that extended back more than a millennium, covered vast geographical areas, produced incredibly rich and diverse cultures, and abruptly ended in the mid 20th century.
