This book, the first-ever collection of primary documents on North
African history and the Holocaust, gives voice to the diversity of
those involved-Muslims, Christians, and Jews; women, men, and
children; black, brown, and white; the unknown and the notable;
locals, refugees, the displaced, and the interned; soldiers,
officers, bureaucrats, volunteer fighters, and the forcibly
recruited. At times their calls are lofty, full of spiritual
lamentation and political outrage. At others, they are humble,
yearning for medicine, a cigarette, or a pair of shoes. Translated
from French, Arabic, North African Judeo-Arabic, Spanish, Hebrew,
Moroccan Darija, Tamazight (Berber), Italian, and Yiddish, or
transcribed from their original English, these writings shed light
on how war, occupation, race laws, internment, and Vichy French,
Italian fascist, and German Nazi rule were experienced day by day
across North Africa. Though some selections are drawn from
published books, including memoirs, diaries, and collections of
poetry, most have never been published before, nor previously
translated into English. These human experiences, combined, make up
the history of wartime North Africa.
