Remembering the Farhud: The Farhud was the Holocaust-era massacre committed by Arab nationalists, who were inspired by the Nazis. It took place over June 1 and June 2, 1941, in Baghdad, Iraq. Hundreds of innocent Jews were murdered, while thousands more were brutally injured. Jewish property was also pillaged during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.
Palestinian Arab leaders, including the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, were among the central instigators of the violence in Baghdad
