The intersecting histories of the Holocaust and wartime North Africa illuminate complex ways in which colonialism and fascism impacted Jewish communities across Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia.
In this session, we will engage with primary and secondary sources to gain insight into experiences and choices associated with this period in history. Activities will incorporate a focus on the varieties of Jewish resistance, ranging from the voice of an adolescent girl responding to rising antisemitism in Libya to the Jewish underground movement organizing support for the allies in Algeria.
Additional classroom resources for teaching the history of the Holocaust in North Africa will be shared.
This interactive workshop is intended for secondary History and social science classroom teachers.
