My Persian college roommate said that his family could trace their roots ~1,900 years back in Iran, until relatively contemporary expulsion. I couldn't believe it, but he showed me a remarkably detailed family tree (yes, with omissions). Heard him comparing notes with another Iranian Jew during Minyan recently — similar story!

I had no idea. Ignorance by others probably should be no surprise. https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/the-expulsion-of-jews-from-arab-countries-and-iran--an-untold-history
