Jews leave a digital footprint on Kolkata - The Times of India KOLKATA:
Jael Silliman, at 59 one of the youngest members of the dwindling
Baghdadi Jews community in Kolkata, has stitched together a remarkable
digital archive that traces two centuries of the community's story.
The project not only puts to rest the community's fear about their
future and vulnerable past once this last strand snaps, it will also
enable Jews who emigrated to reconnect with the city of their birth. The
community that was 3,000-strong at the time of Independence saw an
exodus to the Promised Land after the birth of Israel a year later.
