Memory register · custodian, not owner

Long present in Sousse, the coastal city corresponding to ancient Hadrumetum, the Jews formed a community of merchants and craftsmen integrated into the regional economic life. Of local Sephardic tradition, they had synagogues and communal institutions, and benefited under the French Protectorate from the schooling of the Alliance israélite universelle. Like all the Jews of Tunisia, they experienced the German occupation during the Second World War. After independence in 1956, the community gradually left the city, its members emigrating primarily to France and Israel.
