| תקציר/הערה |
Until 1914, around 2,000 Jews lived in the area between Lakes Van and Urmia, an Ottoman-Iranian borderland. These Neo-Aramaic-speaking Jews of the Van-Urmia border region enjoyed relative autonomy from both the Ottoman Empire and Iran. But Jewish life in the Ottoman province of Van came to an end during World War I when violence, unrest, genocide, and expulsion combined to displace the community, known as Nash Didan, from the region. Using oral histories from Van-descended Jews, this study reconstructs memories of borderland life to reveal a lingering self-perception that conceives of Nash Didan identity outside of Ottoman, Turkish, or Iranian Jewish narratives. It also reinscribes this forgotten community into the growing literature on the Ottoman east. |
