Meet one Jewish man.
His name was Avraham Horovitz. He was born in 1901 in Jerusalem.
The Ottomans were refusing land sales and citizenship to Jews.
His stateless parents both died in a Cholera epidemic and he was an orphan by 1904.

It seems things only got worse for Avraham. He left the orphanage when about 13 and followed some of his extended family to Tel Aviv. He was soon expelled by the Ottomans and he followed his family members to Egypt.
The Egyptians did not give him citizenship either. All because he was a Jew. Almost all Egyptian Jews were denied citizenship.
But Avraham had a sharp mind and despite his stateless position, he built a successful business in Alexandria.
