Before the war the 500,000 jews of north africa lived under different regimes. Moroccan, algerian and tunesian jews experienced the world war. Regardless of the variations across these places, all experienced the war none the less. North africa and its jews and muslims and many north african jews and muslims who found themselves in france before the war are part of the story of ww2. Beginning to get a better sense of not only how the war played out but how it affected north. Tunesians were able to hear german jewish voices themselves. Vichy regime adopted its first anti-jewish statute in october 1940. In race laws that go closely to those in nazi germany- jews were defined by race that is based on the religion of their grandparents. Anti-jewish laws were applied unevenly in morocco but applied none the less. October 1940- a royal decree signed by mohammed the 5th applied the race laws to moroccan.
