This book describes the situation of Jews in Afghanistan during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, particularly 1839-1952. It examines the political, economic and
social conditions they faced as religious minorities. The work focuses upon harsh
governmental economic policies of the 1930s and 1940s spearheaded by 'Abd al-Majid
Khan Zabuli which caused the impoverishment and suffering of both the local community
and refugees from Soviet Central Asia. The question of Nazi influence in Afghanistan
is addressed, with the author arguing that it was mainly limited to the economic sphere.
An examination of the appeal of Zionism and the community's immigration to Israel
is included.
