We Never Lost Our Dignity

Gina Waldman was born and raised in Tripoli, Libya and lived as second class citizen, or “Dhimmi”. She faced great challenges growing up in Libya. In 1967, Gina and her family were forced to flee escalating violence. Gina’s family fled Libya and relocated to Italy. Despite being oppressed, faced with the threat of death, and being brutally forced to flee her home country, Gina chose to never view herself as a victim. She eventually immigrated to the United States, and is the President and Co-founder of Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa (JIMENA) http://jimena.org. Gina remains committed to speaking out on behalf of the “forgotten refugees”. Hear about her remarkable story in this film by The Mizrahi Project, presented by CUFI. https://www.themizrahiproject.org
