This is excellent, thank you. Lots of Assyrian Aramaic-speaking Christians in Australia. Iraq is definitely on my bucket list but I will probably never be able to visit. Thank you for allowing me to travel there from my home.

Fascinating.

Interesting that the post cards are in English. I guess English floated in to the Middle East through the British Empire - not German. Curious what the motivation was to teach English language skills in European cities and when that began. Was it the effect of the British Empire? The USA was a far away land, of little consequence until WWII and The Cold War.
