This article examines the role of the French administration in managing this migration between 1948 and 1954. During this period, France faced the challenge of facilitating the transit of Moroccan Jews through its territory. Drawing on public archives from the French Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and private Jewish organizations, we uncover the extensive administrative strategies employed to monitor and control the movement of a colonized population through metropolitan France. Under the supervision of Israel's Jewish Agency, while on French soil, Moroccan Jews were channeled in various camps, where they awaited selection for immigration to Israel, receiving medical treatment and training, particularly for the youth. In this article we argue that Moroccan Jews faced many layers of prejudices from French authorities, the Jewish Agency, as well as American and French private Jewish organizations. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
