Memory register · custodian, not owner

Diyarbakır, in southeastern Anatolia, sheltered an ancient Jewish community, partly Judeo-Aramaic-speaking, neighboring the Kurdish, Armenian, and Syriac populations of the region. Its members were merchants and craftsmen, organized around their synagogues and religious traditions. During the twentieth century, in a context of regional upheaval and emigration, the community declined sharply. Its members moved largely to Istanbul and then to Israel.
