North Africa & Shoah is a brand dedicated to documenting the history of North African Jews during World War II. Focusing on the Jewish communities in Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Libya, this unique project sheds light on the experiences and challenges faced by these communities during the Holocaust. Despite being often overlooked in comparison to European Jewry, the North African Jews suffered losses through forced labor camps, concentration camps, and mass deportations.

The brand's documentation center, a special project of the Ben-Zvi Institute for the Study of Jewish Communities in the East and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, aims to bring awareness to their stories and preserve their memory. With a wide range of resources, including archival materials, photographs, and videos, North Africa & Shoah provides valuable educational tools and valuable insights into this lesser-known chapter of Jewish history. Visit our documentation center on 14 Even Gvirol Street, Rehavia, Jerusalem, or contact us at 02-5398869 or najww2@ybz.
