Art Gallery
Two Iraqi-Jewish artists now living in Israel have kindly permitted us to reproduce their work relating to a vansihed way of life — and the events of June, 1941. You can see their full portfolios at: http://www.sawdayee.com and http://www.zalayetgallery.com

The Sawdayee Collection (13)
Eli Sawdayee painted these images to show the world the story of the Iraqi Jews and their way of life in olden times before the whole community was uprooted. They key beautifully with Violette's narrative. -
The Zalayet Collection (3)
Nessim Zalayet's canvases capture the Farhud and the horrors the Jews of Baghdad were subjected to on June 1 and 2, 1941.
