message: I don't think this title is correct since there had never been any project for exterminating Algerian Jews. But a very shameful anti-Semitic policy was set up by the French governor Maxime Weygand. Algerian Jews then lost any judicial systems. They were no longer considered French Citizens and they had lost during the preceding century their traditional system. Among many others unjustified disposition, he published a decree that excluded Jews children from school and this never happened in the part of France that marêchal Pétain ruled. Because he tried avoiding the delivery of weapons to the nazi army, he first lost his delegation for ruling French colonies and was arrested by nazis and imprisoned within an Austrian castle. After the war he was suited for collaborating with the enemy but the court dropped the accusation and was never tried for his anti-Semitic policy. His successor after the American intervention General Giraud tried to maintain this policy but had to repeal it thanks to French Gaullists, British and American military authorities.
The tittle should be "Jews from Algeria during WWII" because the role of Jews from Algeria for fighting against the fascists of Vichy Government is probably as important as the anti-Semitic policy that was applied to them. I Will try to find if any consistent book had been published in France about that. I red a lot of personal souvenirs but was very upset by hearing a French journalist, Mr Zemmour that introduces himself as a Jew form Algerian ancestry, saying in TV that "Marêchal saved Algerian Jews" while instead Vichy government humiliated even Jew veterans that fought during WWI under Marêchal Pétain commandment during the Battle of Verdun--Leznodc (talk) 01:47, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: The Shoah in Algeria

message: Before they convert to Islam many berber tribes in Algeria had embraced some flavour of Karaite Judaism. Ibn Khaldun wrote that queen Kahina was Jew and many berber tribes only converted to Islam very late. Jews left kingdom of Aragon from 1381 because of persecutions. 1492 was only a bigger one. There is no connection with the expelling of Moriscos that happened one century after. Many historians today think that Moriscos were not all Muslim but that most of them were Christians with different cultural habits. So King Philip the Third of Spain would have expelled christians that were this way, more or less, constrained to embrace Islam. Nevertheless recent inquiries suggest that due to lack of money, Spanish monarchy policies were badly enforced during the XVIIth century. Many Muslims, Arabic Christian and Jews.stayed in Spain anyway. Please give a look at Sephardic Reuters: Jews leave genetic legacy in Spain and NY Times: DNA study shows 20 percent of Iberian population has Jewish ancestry. --Leznodc (talk) 02:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Karaite Judaism

message: In the XVIIth century , Granas (i.e Jews from Livorno , Italy) have started settling in Algeria. They were highly envolved into commercial tradings and exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire , renforcing the rows of the Jewish community.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.132.96.98 (talk) 09:44, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: 1) That source was last updated in 2018. 2) It says: "The number of Jews living in Algeria is unknown, but historians estimate that the country’s Jewish population is made up of a handful of people, practicing in secret." 3) A cited source from 2020 says: "the State Department estimated around 200 Jews remained in Algeria in 2020". 4) I already explained this to you (see my comment on your previous IP's talk page) M.Bitton (talk) 15:23, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
