Tunisia was directly occupied by the Nazi forces of Germany from November 1942 to May 1943. The Nazi implemented a regime of forced-labor, property confiscation, hostage-taking, mass extortion, deportations, and executions. Thousands of countryside Jews were forced to wear the Star of David. The population of Tunisian Jews stood at around 105,000 in 1948. After independence in 1956, a series of anti-Semitic measures were taken, driving a immigration wave of 40,000 Tunisians Jews to Israel. The number of Tunisians Jews decreased to around 20,000 by 1967. A further 7,000 Jews immigrated to France, following anti-Semitic riots during the Six-Day War. As of 2018, the population of Jews in Tunisia is numbered at around 1,100.
