Description
Traces how Germany gained power in Afghanistan from the time of World War 1 and describes the plight of the Jews during the Nazi period. Following a similar pattern to the treatment of Jews in Europe, the Jews of Afghanistan first had economic sanctions imposed, then were forcibly deported without notice to places of their birth, forbidden to travel further that 15 km from where they lived and were increasingly subjected to physical persecution.
