- Summary
- "From the late 1800s until World War II, the Jewish communities of Cairo and Alexandria were vibrant, prosperous, and dynamic elements of Egyptian society. Suddenly in the 1980s only a few hundred Jews remained in the entire country. Gudrun Krämer explores the reasons for the swift rise and rapid decline of this minority community in a Muslim land. Beginning with an examination of the communal structure and composition of Egyptian Jewry, she illuminates its diversity in religious rite, ethnic origin, language, and nationality."--Book Jacket.
