The Holocaust is usually understood as a European story. Yet, this
pivotal episode unfolded across North Africa and reverberated
through politics, literature, memoir, and memory-Muslim as well as
Jewish-in the post-war years. The Holocaust and North Africa offers
the first English-language study of the unfolding events in North
Africa, pushing at the boundaries of Holocaust Studies and North
African Studies, and suggesting, powerfully, that neither is
complete without the other. The essays in this volume reconstruct
the implementation of race laws and forced labor across the Maghreb
during World War II and consider the Holocaust as a North African
local affair, which took diverse form from town to town and city to
city. They explore how the Holocaust ruptured Muslim-Jewish
relations, setting the stage for an entirely new post-war reality.
Commentaries by leading scholars of Holocaust history complete the
picture, reflecting on why the history of the Holocaust and North
Africa has been so widely ignored-and what we have to gain by
understanding it in all its nuances. Published in association with
the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
