The Jews of Aleppo, Syria, had been part of the city' fabric for more than two thousand years, through good times and bad, conquerors and kings, residing alongside Christians and Muslims with respectful tolerance. By the middle years of the twentieth century, though, all that had changed, leading to an odyssey that began for the Sutton family on a fateful day in 1941. Rising anti-Semitism, Claudette Sutton's grandfather decided, required him to "export his sons", beginning with the oldest, her father, Mike. Decades later, Mike's unassuming request to his daughter to "help me get my story down on paper" opened a treasure trove of personal memories, religious history, and global politics which have come together as Farewell, Aleppo.

A poignant testament to the city shattered by Syria's civil war. Aleppo lies in ruins, a casualty of Syria's brutal civil war. Its streets are cloaked in darkness, its population scattered, its memories ravaged. But this was once a vibrant world city, where Muslims, Christians and Jews lived and traded together in peace. Few places are as ancient and diverse. At the crossroads of global trade, Aleppo drew merchants from Venice, Isfahan and Agra to the largest souq in the Middle East and it was from here that some of the world's most enduring food, music and culture sprang.
