Abstract:
Discusses French policy towards the Jews in Algeria in 1940-42. The first measure was annulment of the Crémieux decree. Surveys the application in Algeria of the anti-Jewish Vichy laws, and the activities in this field of General Maxime Weygand, general delegate of the French government in North Africa, and of Xavier Vallat who introduced Aryanization in Algeria. An Algerian "Judenrat" was created - the Union Générale des Israélites d'Algérie (U.G.I.A.). Concludes that all measures depended on the colonial administration, which was not interested in agitation amongst the local population which might turn into anti-French disturbances. That is why antisemitic propaganda was controlled and was, in general, weaker than in the 1930s.
