Rapport sur la propagande antisémitique à Oran, 13 juillet 1938
Description
The report indicates the constitution of the Muslim section of Amitiés Latines in Oran and the success of the Latin Union list in the municipal elections of Tiaret on June 26, 1938. This new Muslim section aroused the attention of new natives previously resistant to any anti-Semitic propaganda
The means of propaganda are always the same: press articles, daily meetings of the members of Amitiés Latines, at the head office where they can read anti-Semitic newspapers, in particular, “Le Défi” by Jean Charles Legrand, president of the Front de la Jeunesse, who was to give anti-Semitic lectures. Mr. Lambert’s objective is still the constitution of an electoral bloc.
In Sidi-Bel Abbès, Mr. Billiard continues to engage in a real anti-Semitic campaign in the newspaper “Le Républicain Sud-Oranais”. There is also a boycott of Jewish stores in this city.
Mr. Lambert who wanted to be a candidate was forced to give way to Mr. Vidal on the injunctions of the leaders of the French Popular Party. Mr. Lambert confines himself to active anti-Semitism, the benefit of which mainly benefits the French Popular Party, which has declared itself clearly anti-Jewish.
The report also mentions the condemnation to death of Zaoui for the assassination of Mr. Aubertin. This death sentence came to destroy the opinion according to which the French justice was less severe towards the Jews compared to the Muslims.
