- Title
The Jews of Antioch In Modern Times.
- Authors
Magemizoğlu, Gizem
- Abstract
The article analyses the reasons for Jews leaving the city of Antioch (in modern day Turkey). Nowadays, very few Jews live in Antioch and their number has fallen below 20. How has the situation in Antioch changed? With the rise of political Islam in Turkey, anti-Semitism has begun to affect life in some cities of Anatolia except for Antioch. The main reason behind the emigration of the Jews of Antioch, rather than the political developments occurring in Turkey, have been poverty and economic difficulties in the city. But this article considers political factors as well. The article works with interviews I collected with representatives of the Jewish community living in Antioch to offer insights into the reasons for the Jewish migration from the city.
