Before World War II over thirty percent of Bagdad’s inhabitants were Jews, leading a life in Iraq for 2700 years. Today there are only twenty seven Jewish people left. The treaty that Hitler and the Iraqi leaders signed, led to the persecution of several thousands of Jews, which reached its climax under Saddam Hussein’s rule.
