A Jewish woman in Damascus, Syria when Jews were allowed religious freedom in Syria. Her shoes are better than Lady Gaga’s. (1865, hand colored photo from the Institut du Monde Arabe).
We didn’t meet a single Jew when we visited Syria because it’s not safe for them under the Captagon-pushing Assad Dynasty, and it’s not allowed to even say the word Israel when you are out and about but we would like to see these shoes make a comeback and dancing again in Damascus.
