Description
The Holocaust and North Africa offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal episode in history. For too long, the Holocaust has been seen as a European story, but this book reveals its significance in North Africa, where it had far-reaching consequences for politics, literature, and memory. By exploring the implementation of race laws and forced labor across the region during World War II, this study sheds new light on the complex relationships between Muslims and Jews in the post-war years. The essays in this volume reconstruct the history of the Holocaust in North Africa, highlighting its diverse forms and impacts from town to town and city to city. The book also examines how the Holocaust ruptured Muslim-Jewish relations, setting the stage for a new reality. With commentaries by leading scholars of Holocaust history, this study provides a nuanced understanding of an often-overlooked chapter in history. By exploring the intersection of the Holocaust and North Africa, this book challenges readers to consider the limitations of traditional narratives and the importance of understanding this complex history in all its nuances.
