Memory register · custodian, not owner
Figuig, a great oasis on the border between Morocco and Algeria, was home to an ancient Jewish community whose members, often Berber-speaking, were merchants and craftsmen established at this important caravan crossroads. Organized around their synagogues, they participated in trade between the Sahara and the cities of the north. During the twentieth century, and particularly from mid-century onward, the community emptied through emigration to the major Moroccan cities and then to Israel.
