Abstract:
Describes how Jewish education was organized in Marseille between 1940-43, the town having become the hub of Jewish life in France with the addition of 4,000 refugees to its community of 10,000 Jews. Stresses the relatively liberal stance of the Vichy regime to Jewish cultural and religious life. Jewish children continued attending public schools and 90% of Jewish refugee children received public education. Authorities even helped organize classes in homes for foreign Jewish women and children after the men had been sent to internment camps. Under Jewish auspices, educational priorities shifted from religion to culture, and Jewish organizations provided training courses and professional reeducation for foreign and French Jews who had lost their jobs as a consequence of racist Vichy laws.
