“The Jews of Edirne: The End of Ottoman Europe and the Arrival of Borders”
Jacob Daniels

At the turn of the twentieth century, the city of Edirne was a bustling center linking Istanbul to Ottoman Europe. It was also the capital of Edirne Province—among the most religiously diverse regions of the Ottoman Empire. But by 1923, the city had become a Turkish border town, and the province had lost much of its non-Muslim population. In this book talk, Jacob Daniels explores how one of the world's largest Sephardi communities dealt with the encroachment of modern borders.
