Nissimi (history, Bar Ilan U.) explores the paradox, memory, identity, history, and family structures of groups that must hide their existence, taking as a case study Jewish merchants who were brought to Masshad by the Nadir Shah (1688-1747) to guard his treasures in his new palace and new capital. After some decades they were forced to convert to Islam, but secretly remained Jews and continue to maintain a sense of unity around the world. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
