Médéa, on the Algerian high plateaus, was home to a small, ancient Jewish community integrated into the local commercial and artisanal fabric. The Crémieux Decree of 1870 granted its members French citizenship, which encouraged their Frenchification and schooling. Under the Vichy regime, they were temporarily deprived of that status and subjected to discriminatory measures. Together with all the Jews of Algeria, the community left the country at the time of independence in 1962, settling mainly in France.
