Abstract:
Lydia' s main topic is the atrocities of the pogrom of Amros, which she describes in some detail, and which remain a painful memory. She describes the apparent British instigation of the strife between the Jews and the Arabs, and reflects on why the Libyan Jews did not lay any claim to their country, Libya, where they had lived for centuries.
