Description

The report is written by the German consulate general in Algiers. It tells us about the riots that happened in Algiers in 1934.

The document says it is hard to get a clear picture of the political importance of the riot. Within the document, Algiers is described as an Arab-Jewish city.

According to the document the cause of the riot is that a drunk Jewish zuave (soldier from Barber origin) insulted Muslims. This scenario caused an explosive angry mood among Muslims, who demolished and burned Jewish shops. There are 23 Jews and 2 Muslims who were killed in the riots, according to the document. Non-Jewish citizens were not harmed at all during the riots.

The police did not intervene during the riots.
