Photographer’s Note
The Jews of Yemen have lived there since the time of King Solomon, That is to say for over 2,900 years. In 1948 there were about 50,000 Jews in Yemen. Today, less than 200. What is often forgotten when the Palestinians whine about being chased out of Israel is that many more Jews (over 3/4th of a million) were expelled from Arab lands than vice-versa. Jews lived in Arabian lands even before those countries became Muslim.
