Description

This report provides an overview of November 1941 on the political activity of elected Muslim officials, reformist ulama, the Algerian People’s Party, etc. We can also read the information on the youth of the Algerian Muslim Congress, the action of the European parties on the Natives, the native workers, the economic question, etc.

The report mentions the census and the various statutes concerning the Jews. A law of July 22, 1941, gave the Commissioner General of Jewish Questions extensive powers over Jewish businesses and properties, to which provisional administrators can be appointed.

The Jews are concerned with educating their children, who are excluded from state schools. There is information on the opening of a primary school and a secondary school on street Bab-el-Oued. A sort of Jewish Faculty is being organized in street Suffron, under the name of “Society of Jewish Conferences”. The cost of registration will be 500 francs per year. A religious education school also operates at the same address.
