Abstract:
The persecution of Sephardic Jews in areas under Nazi control has usually been ignored in popular writings on Jewish suffering during World War II. Surveys German attempts to implement the Holocaust in the Balkans and in North Africa, noting that many paradigms common to European integral nationalism were foreign to North Africa, which made for differences in the implementation of the Nazi policies. In Europe, only the Holocaust in Greece followed the pattern in Eastern Europe: isolation, ghettoization, deportation, and then murder. In North Africa, only Tunisia was, for a time, under Nazi control; some of its Jews were detained in camps. In the areas under French control, the authorities were lenient in implementation of the Vichy laws. Moreover, they had little effect on Moroccan Jews because of their culture of isolationism.
