8 December 2024 at 2pm at the Shoah Memorial
For the Nazis, the Shoah was not an ambition limited to Europe. The advance of the Allied troops prevented this ambition to materialize on every continent. Nevertheless, the occupation of Tunisia by Axis forces raised fears of a fate similar to that of European Jews, with brutal measures taken against the local Jewish population. Fortunately, the deportations did not have the time or the material possibility to take place. This conference is organised in partnership with the Societý for the History of the Jews of Tunisia (SHJT), on the occasion of the commemoration of the roundup of the Jews of Tunis by the SS. In the presence of Jérémy Guedj, lecturer in contemporary history at the University of Côte d’Azur, Marie-Anne Guez, PhD in history at the University Panthéon-Sorbonne, and Martino Oppizzi, French School of Rome and moderated by Claude Nataf, President of the SHJT.
