Abstract:
Traces the fate of Jewish restaurants in the Marais, mainly in rue Francois Miron, and the restaurants' Sephardic Jewish owners in the Shoah. Notes that they had arrived during the great wave of immigration from North Africa due to persecutions at the turn of the 20th century or after the pogrom in Constantine in 1934. At the beginning of the occupation Ashkenazi Jews, who were targeted by violent French Nazis, sought help from the North African clients of the Jewish restaurants. However, in 1941 the restaurants themselves were targeted by Vichy. They were subjected to the control of temporary supervisors appointed by CGOJ, but were allowed to keep functioning if they served kosher food. The clientele was restricted to Jews, and the Jewish owners were prohibited from dealing with the clients. In 1942 arrests became more frequent, and some of the owners were deported. Emhpasizes that some Jews of North African origin, including certain restaurant owners, survived by posing as Arabs. Some of their former clients, on the other hand, were arrested when visiting cafés prohibited to Jews in rue Francois Miron.
