Memory register · custodian, not owner

Established in Blida, on the Mitidja plain, Jews formed a community of merchants, craftsmen, and small manufacturers integrated into the economic life of this Algerian city. The Crémieux Decree of 1870 conferred French citizenship upon them, promoting their schooling and participation in modern urban life. Under Vichy, they suffered the temporary abrogation of this status and antisemitic measures. Like all Algerian Jewry, the community of Blida left the country at independence in 1962, primarily for France.
