On 1 June 1941, a Nazi-inspired pogrom erupted in Baghdad. The violence against Baghdad's Jews is known as the Farhud and was a turning point in Iraqi history.

During the two days of violence, rioters murdered between 150 and 180 Jews and injured 600 others. They also looted some 1,500 properties.

In the 1940s about 135,000 Jews lived in Iraq.
