On 25 November, synagogues from all over the world will be participating in a mass Kaddish to commemorate the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Arab countries as well as to honor their burial places. But for this year, we should also remember another Jewish community that was also destroyed.

The following brief history of Gaza is found here.
