This study deepens our historical understanding of the
North-African Jewish and Middle Eastern Jewish experience during
WWII, which is often under- or mis-represented by the media in
Israel, the Arab world, France, and Italy. Public, historical and
sociocultural discourse is examined to clarify whether these
communities are accepted by the world as "Holocaust survivors".
Further, it determines the extent to which their wartime history is
revealed to Israeli society in its cultural performances.
Importantly, this work addresses the reasons why the Holocaust of
North African Jewry is absent from Israeli and world consciousness.
Finally, the study contemplates the consequences of these phenomena
for Israeli society as well as in the colonial countries of France
and Italy. "In addition to using academic resources, Golan captures
this history from the margins by utilizing audio-visual and
artistic media in addition to evidence recorded on community
heritage websites, Facebook, and other online social networks.
Golan's book demonstrates that there is a moral imperative to
preserve and transmit these memories of persecution and
discrimination..." -David B Levy, Touro College, NYC, Association
of Jewish Libraries News and Reviews 1.2 (2019)
