Overlooked but Not Forgotten: The Jewish Exemption Claim and the Society of Tehran Jews
‘Overlooked but Not Forgotten’ is the first work to examine the ‘Jewish Exemption Claim’. In doing so, this article asks two questions.

The “Sacred Defense” literature of Christians, Zoroastrians, and the Fedayeen-e Khalq is examined to support the argument that nearly four decades of the Shah’s rule and the battle ove…
