5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating account, December 21, 2004
This review is from: The Jews of North Africa During the Second World War (Hardcover)
This is the only book on this fascinating subject and a must read for those perplexed or interested in the experience of Jews in North Africa during World War Two. These Jews found themselves under Vichy Administration in 1940 and Italian administration in Libya. The same racial laws applied to Jews and work camps were set up for many. Nevertheless the Jews of North Africa escaped the fate of those in Europe.

The most fascinating portion of this book details the homegrown anti-Semitism of the French administration of North Africa, a right wing and socialist phenomenon that began before World War Two and lasted after the liberation by the U.S army. Of interest also is the treatment of Jews in the Italian sector.
