Tébessa, in the far east of Algeria, was home to a Jewish community that was close, in culture and ties, to the neighboring Tunisian communities. Its members were peddlers, merchants, and artisans serving the city and its hinterland. The Crémieux Decree of 1870 granted them French citizenship in principle, accelerating their integration, which was nonetheless suspended under the Vichy regime. When they departed during the twentieth century, its members settled in France or neighboring Tunisia.
