The war ends : Epilogue. 520 "Incorporating published and archival material, this volume fills an important gap in the history of the Jewish experience during World War II, describing how the war affected Jews living along the southern rim of the Mediterranean and the Levant, from Morocco to Iran. Surviving the Nazi slaughter did not mean that Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa were unaffected by the war: there was constant Antisemitic propaganda and general economic deprivation; communities were bombed; and, Jews suffered because of the Vichy Antisemitic regulations that left them unemployed, homeless and subject to forced labor and deportation to labor camps. Nevertheless, they fought for the Allies and assisted the Americans and the British in the invasion of North Africa. These men and women were community leaders and average people who, despite their dire economic circumstances, worked with the refugees attempting to escape the Nazis via North Africa, Turkey, or Iran and connected with international aid agencies during and after the war. By 1945, no Jewish community had been left untouched and many were financially decimated, a situation that would have serious repercussions on the future of Jews in the region. Covering the entire Middle East and North Africa region this book on World War II is a key resource for students, scholars and general readers interested in Jewish history, World War II and Middle East history"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xJews |zMiddle East. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xJews |zAfrica, North. 650 0 Jews |zMiddle East |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Jews |zAfrica, North |xHistory |y20th century. 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xJuifs |0(CaQQLa)201-0011803 |zAfrique du Nord. |0(CaQQLa)201-0386857 650 7 Jews. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983135 651 7 Middle East. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01241586 651 7 North Africa. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01239515 650 7 Juden. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4028808-0 651 7 Naher Osten. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4068878-1 651 7 Nordafrika. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4042482-0 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zMiddle East. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |zAfrica, North. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |zAfrica, North |xInfluence. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |zMiddle East |xInfluence. |2nli 650 7 Jews |zMiddle East |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Jews |zAfrica, North |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |zEretz Israel. |2nli 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Simon, Reeva S., author. |tThe Jews of the Middle East and North Africa |dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2019. |z9780429276248 |w(DLC) 2019031594 856 41 |3Electronic version(s) available |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=5899598 |zHosted by ProQuest 852 |bebook 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS135.L4 |iS56 2020
