It’s been a while but finally I’m happy to announce that a Kindle version of “Memories” is now available on Amazon. This is the link for the UK site. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Memo…/dp/B09C6DW4M5/ref=sr_1_1
It is also available elsewhere on Amazon (France, Germany etc) although for rights reasons not in North America. In the United States and Canada, Northwestern University Press has a printed version as well as its own Kindle edition.
What makes this new version especially interesting and different is that the old photographs have been colourised, bringing the story to life as never before. I find it quite astonishing. You might be interested in having this even though you already have the print version. I have also added some new information to the section “Behind the Farhud” that has come to light since the book was first published in 2006. And there are loads of fabulous new photos and illustrations. Another attraction (I hope!) is that we have priced it modestly at £7.
I would be very grateful if you would share. You might also like to watch the YouTube video of slides we have compiled with Iraqi music which replaces and improves the one that was posted over the last 15 years and counted over 150,000 views.

Good Morning
Just got this lovely new post and an updated version of your utube. The music is by the great Iraqi singer Ilham Al Madfai, who will be performing this coming Sunday August 15th in Atlanta! He is also my cousin. My 80+ year old aunt in London and I are great fans of 
Violetteâs beautifully written memoire. Do try to attend the concert if you can, and bring copies of this lovely memoire with you.
My Best
Nedda

Thank you, Nedda. It’s really touching to know your family connection with the music we chose, which was thanks to our Iraqi translator Ali Shakir (exiled in New Zealand) bringing it to our attention. How we would love to attend the concert, but alas we are in Europe. If the opportunity arises please tell Ilham Al Madfai how much we appreciate his singing and if his time permits possibly he might like to see the video, too.
Our best to you,
Tony & Mira
