My uncle was rich. He was a goldsmith. He had a lot of money. An emissary came and said, “I’m from Israel. If you want to buy lands in Israel, buy them. And when you arrive in Israel, you will have lands. My uncle bought (lands) in two places. He (then) came to Israel. He even brought the deed. They said to him, “no! There was a war. It’s true that we won, but the Muslims took them back again. You don’t deserve anything.” I don’t know who exactly. We were new immigrants. We had just come to Israel. In the aliyah…when we came to Israel…my grandfather had a Torah scroll. We brought it from Tuz Khurmatu. And we had a doe, which we had been raising for a year. (When) we (were to) go to Israel, my mother vowed to slaughter it, and bring it to Israel and eat it on the train. That’s what we did. We slaughtered it and brought it. And we brought the Torah scroll. We came to Baghdad. We slept in the Meir Elyas synagogue. We stayed (there) for two days, then the airplane came. It came to take us (to Israel). We were happy. We brought all new things, and we showered, and we wore all new (clothes). When we came to Israel, my father was scared. (In Baghdad) a Muslim came and said to my brother, “tell me, where is your father’s money?”. He said to him, “I swear, I don’t know. We don’t have money. My father didn’t bring money.” They came to search us all. Women and men separately. The boys went with my father, and the girls came with my mother. My sister had earrings. A Muslim woman came and took her earrings off her. My sister started crying. They took all of our things. We had brought all new things. Anything they wanted, they took. Anything they didn’t want, they gave us (back). We brought those things with us to Israel. We came to Israel. As soon as we arrived, we got off the plane. They brought us into a room and came and did (sprayed) us with DDT. I said to my mother, “what is this thing that they are doing to us?”. We were all dressed in new (clothes), and showered, as we were arriving to Israel. She said to me, “don’t worry, my daughter. This is (cosmetic) powder that they put on you all”.
