Andre Toueg, 72 years old, was born in Cairo in a Jewish family. His family hailed from countries like Libya, Syria, Italy, and Spain. They migrated to Brazil in 1958 due to Gamal Abdel Nasser’s policies against the Jewish community. Toueg narrates his life in São Paulo, where he joined local youth Zionist movements and found new identities. He never went back to Cairo.
