    🕮    The Wolf from Baghdad graphic novel reveals a slice of little-known Jewish history, based on the Iraqi family of author/illustrator Carol Isaacs. She’s an Jew who grew up in England, but she describes her home life as “Little Baghdad.” Her graphic novel explores Jewish life in Iraq before the Farhud, the ethnic cleansing of Baghdadi Jews in 1941. Carol combines fascinating history with atmospheric art and traditional music in this amazing interview!
