Nagi Georges Zeidan was a Lebanese author and self-taught historian[1] and specialist[2][3] on the Jewish community of Lebanon.
Although his publications have received criticism, he continued to be cited by other academics and interviewed by the media.
Career[edit]
Zeidan began studying and researching the Jewish community in 1995.[1] He frequently posted his findings on social media such as Facebook and X (Twitter).
In 2020 he published the book Juifs du Liban, which details the history of the Jewish community in Lebanon. Later, in 2022, he attempted to fundraise money for a second book, Chroniques et mémoires des derniers Juifs du Liban, which would have focused on the last Jews of Lebanon and the antisemitic events which occurred between 1985-1987.
Personal Life[edit]
Zeidan grew up in Wadi Chahrour, Lebanon, and originally worked as a hairdresser.[1]
In the latter years of his life, he resided in Brussels with his spouse, frequently visiting Lebanon to see his relatives or to conduct his research. He had at least one son.[1]
Death[edit]
On October 17, 2023, Zeidan suffered a fall during his visit to Lebanon. He was taken to the Al Hayat Hospital, where he was hospitalized under coma. Nearly a month later, he passed away due to a lung infection.[2]
