Although I'm not Jewish, an agnostic living in Egypt, I think Judaism is a fundamental element in the fabric of Egypt, lies in the essence of its identity.
There should be more awareness of Egyptian Jews because many people confuse them with Israelis or other Jews.you should hear my grandma talks about how honest and sincere her Jewish neighbors were,and that people back then lived in peace. I really think a petition should be filed to give Egyptian Jews their nationality back

Dear Desire Sakkal,
I was directed to your site and found it fascinating. I would like to alert you to my recently published memoir, SIPPING FROM THE NILE, My Exodus From Egypt, published by Stony Creek Press, which is available on Amazon and through other internet sites such as Baker & Taylor and which I believe would be of interest to your website.
The book has already garnered some wonderful reviews and endorsements and can be accessed, viewed and purchased by visiting http://www.sippingfromthenile.com and clicking anywhere on the jacket.
I hope that you may review it here.
I will be reading from SIPPING FROM THE NILE at the American Jewish Historical Society (Center for Jewish History) on Thursday, November 19th, at 6:30 pm at 15 West 16th Street, and have spoken and read from the memoir in the Shearith Israel Author series, Hillcrest JC, All Souls Church, and other venues. I would welcome an opportunity to speak or read to  your association.
Thank you for your attention to my work, and please do contact me through the above email address. Many thanks, Jean (Mosseri) Naggar

I am more than glad to have found your website.

As an old Italian from Alexandria I would like to take the advantage of your web site to remember a person who was a great friend of my father. His name was Vito Latis. He was from a Jewish family of Modena (Italy). His grand father had been a famous surgeon and doctor of the Khedive Ismail, and had been one of the founders of the Egyptian Croissant Rouge.

He was an engineer and before world war II he had worked in Iraq and in Palestine. In particular in Haifa he directed the works for the construction of the "Casa del Fascio". For this reason, in spite of his being a Jew, he had been imprisoned by the British and had been prisoner with my grandfather Baron Costanzo Cantoni (who was not Jew) in a camp in Tanta.

After the war, having inherited, he retired and used to live as a joyeux viveur. He was the owner of a yellow convertible Studebaker, and I remebre him driving alonmg the Corniche. Perhaps someone of those who lived in Alexandria at the end of the 50s still remembers that car. He lived in Boulevard Sultan Hussein, 52, at the ground floor and his garden was adjacent to an Egyptian boys school whose director was a brother to Gamal abd el Naser. The school boys did continuously disturb him and he was always arguing with the brother of Nasser.

Eventually, around 1963/64 he left Egypt. My father helped him to find a job in a company engaged in the cosntruction of a high-way near Bologna. But he was old and ill.

Finally he retired he underwent a series of surgical amputations to a leg. He used to live in an hotel in Milan. One day at the hotel arrived an Egyptian delegation led by the brother of Nasser. They recognised each other and hugged crying.

I saw him for the last time in my life in Milan at the end of the 60s. He then left to Israel (he had a brother in Jerusalem) and died a few months later in an hospital in Jerusalem.

He has been a gerat friend and I would like to remember him to those of the Jews of Alexandria who may have known him and may still have memory of him.

Hello,

I am a Karaite Jew, born in Cairo in July of 1964.  I was delivered into this world by my father Dr Youssef Lichaa.

After the ten day war In 1967 Nasser threw all the remaining Jewish men over the age of 16 in prison and held them there for three years.  This caused unbelievable suffering for my family and the families of the Jews still in Egypt.

Thank _od we have people that keep these memories alive.  I try and tell my children about where I came from and how it led me to a better life in the United States.

I appreciate the website!

I have a 1/2 Egyptian baby and I am glad you are keeping the roots of Egypt alive. Hopefully no one will be able to destroy and/or suffocate the Civilization which has lived there since the Beginning: Pharaos, Jewishes, Copts, .... Unfortunately up to today non-Islamic people and Community are still oppressed, and the Pharaonic Civilization used for touristic/economical purposes only (not really appreciated). Hopefully full Democracy and Human Rights and Recognition of the Origin will be applied there, too. I hope this. I trust this will happen! Light & Love & Power.

My name is Mariam Mekiwi and I'm a student in the American University in Cairo. My Majors are History and Art and my minor is film. I'm writing my thesis and it's about "the portrayal of the jews in early egyptian Cinema". I would need to interview several jews who used to live in Egypt. Please contact me if you volunteer to help out with my project.
Thanks

Mariam
