This documentary was filmed in the Jewish quarters of the Medina of Essaouira formerly known as Mogador. In the 18th century, even before and to a time period after that, this portion of the fortified city, was home to a beautiful striving Israelite community.
Who were the Jews of the Medina in Mogador? Who were favoured and respected by some of the Sultan’s of the past, including Mohammed Ben Abdallah al-Khatib, the grandchild of the famous black Sultan, known as the warrior King, Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif. The answer to the identity of the Jews who once lived in the Medina is found in a restored synagogue, truth cannot be hidden.
HAF's Cemetery rehabilitation project in Essaouira
During a one year period from September 2012 - September 2013, the High Atlas Foundation and its partners conducted a preservation and maintenance program for the Moslem, Christian, and Jewish cemeteries in Essaouira, which stand as present-day reminders of the multicultural past of this small city and Morocco at-large, where people of different faiths shared a town, a life, work, a culture, and language.

Brahim Kredya, historian of Safi, Morocco, interviewed by Kevin Barrett 20181012 480
This interview with Brahim Kredya was conducted on October 12 2018 in Safi, Morocco. Brahim Kredya is the most notable local historian of Safi. He has published more than 60 works in Arabic. His book Pages de l'histoire de juifs de Safi is available in French from Auteurs du monde. In that book, and in this interview, he describes the remarkable story of the friendly relations between the Muslim and Jewish communities in Safi, which lasted several centuries before being degraded by European colonialism—which divided and conquered by offering Jews the status of honorary Europeans and luring them away from Safi thus reducing their numbers there—and finally destroyed by Zionism, which used strong-arm tactics to ethically cleanse Jews from Morocco and ship them to Israel. The Zionist used terrorism, including mass murder, as they genocidally eliminated the Jewish population of the Arab world, destroying a beautiful ancient culture in the process. Among the mass murders of Arab Jews by Zionists was the 1961 sinking of the Egoz killing 46 Moroccan Jews en route to Israel. Jewish historian Jacob Cohen explains that the Mossad sunk the ship as a publicity stunt to create a little holocaust retroactively justifying Zionist crimes and leveraging the completion of ethnic cleansing of Arab Jews.

David Lankry
David Lankry, Morocco
David Lankry fondly recalls his childhood in Casablanca and remembers having a traditional Jewish life. The death of Moroccan King Mohammed V in 1961 resulted in political uncertainty in Morocco and Jewish life became very difficult due to the concurrent rise of Anti-Semitism and frequent kidnapping of Jewish children. Following his father’s dream, David and his family moved to Israel when David was 11.
David was born in Casablanca in 1951 and started Jewish Day School to learn Hebrew and French at the age of five. He also studied Torah after school with local rabbis. He naturally bonded with his Jewish peers but as he grew he developed interests in non-Jewish subjects. To accommodate his son’s curiousity his father enrolled him in public school. David recalls that the teachers were all Muslim, and treated the students fairly and equally, yet all his peers knew who the Jewish students were. David’s father was a self-employed electrician and his mother was a traditional woman whose life revolved around raising a family. David grew up in a home filled with music and enthusiastically recalls traditional tunes in Casablanca.
In 1961 the King of Morocco died and a period of political uncertainty and instability followed. Even though the King advised his son to “take care of Jews,” fear ran high as Jewish children were frequently kidnapped by local Arabs. Meanwhile, undercover agents from Israel encouraged and prepared Jews in Casablanca to move to Israel. David’s father fulfilled his dream of moving to Israel and the family as was placed in a temporary transit camp in Dimona. Conditions in the camp were difficult (e.g., no electricity, no water) and the family encountered discrimination from employment offices who preferred to hire Ashkenazim over Sephardim and Mizrachim. The family was finally able to move to an apartment and shortly after David had a Bar Mitzvah. Excelling at math, David skipped grade 7, and upon his completion of high school, he served in the army for six months (the duration that allowed for men who supported their families). Soon after, he got married.
David feels that discrimination against Mizrahi Jews in Israel has been subsided since 1977, when Menachem Begin became Prime Minister and the Knesset began to become more diverse and included a Moroccan politician. To his surprise, David’s father met an Ashkenazi man who bears the same last name and applies the same meaning attached to it: no fish in the month of Nissan.
In 2007 with a few friends from Dimona, David visited Casablanca for the first time since he left. Although the tour group was nervous, David went straight to his old school and was astonished that nothing had changed. When he visited his old synagogue and met with a person who guarded the synagogue, he “cried like a baby” full of emotions and nostalgia. David holds his Moroccan heritage dearly, ending the interview with singing the songs he grew up with.
