Libya
The Culture That Vanished
Among the cultures that disappeared in our lifetime
The Luata Jews, lived in Libya since the Phoenician colonization.
Libya during the second world war
The Luata Jews are transferred to the concentration camp of Jado. In Tripoli, Sofia Jacobs, the grandmother of five, finds herself struggling to keep the family alive, first under the occupation of the Italians, then the Germans, then the British, and finally the people that she trusted the most, the Libyan Arabs. The narrative led by the Jacobs family takes the reader through the tragic destiny of this indigenous group from its origins to their final expulsion.
The author's journey
The author takes the reader through the tribulations of these poor, humble, and gentle people, as he brings to life the Jewish ghetto and, in it, a forbidden love story.
