While I was still in this school, the government of that period passed a new law named “Wealth Tax” [13] to improve the economy.  They produced a number for every tax recipient, (but especially the nonMuslims), at their discretion and forced the individuals to pay it.  This event was the cause of a lot of families’ downfall.  Since my father had two stores they asked for a very high tax, of course my father could not pay it and one day the civil workers from the ministry of finance came to our stores and our home and confiscated everything against this debt.
