A History of the Jews of Tangier in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
The almost two-centuries-long history of the Jews of Tangier was not without antisemitic incidents. Pp. 7-10 narrate the fate of a 17-year-old Jewish girl, Sol Hachuel, who refused to convert to Islam and was executed in 1834. Pp. 27-29 describe humiliations suffered by some Jews from both Moroccan and Spanish authorities in 1863. Pp. 148-151 discuss reactions to the Nazi takeover in Germany. Tangier accepted about 3,000 Jewish refugees from Germany and Italy before 1940; from July 1940 until the end of the war, when the city was under Spanish control, not a single Jew was admitted. Describes, also, the precarious existence of the postwar Jewish community under Moroccan rule, in particular the reaction of the Muslim population to the Six-Day War.
