Esperance David – In the 50’s in Baghdad

So the regent and his family were killed by that coup [in 1958] by them [by the Revolutionists], because there was a coup in the government at that time.  So, from a kingdom, that was done away, literally done away, killed all of them, and they established the republic and, from then on, it became Iraq as a republic.  They had a president and all the rest of it.

INT:    And when was that?

ED:      That was when I was away, in the early 50’s, after Israel.  I didn’t see any of that.
