Description

This report is sent to the Prefect, on behalf of the divisional commissioner of the special departmental police. This indicates that this propaganda has always existed in particular with the “Latin Unions” chaired by Jules Molle (former mayor of Oran). Upon his death, this active anti-Semitic policy was continued by Mr. Pares and Mr. Menudier (former mayor of Oran). This policy was supported by Mr. Lambert and the local daily “Le Petit Oranais”. The report makes the history of this anti-Semitism within the municipality of Oran, in particular during the legislative elections. Anti-Semitism is also found among the members of the National Rally, the French Social Party, the French Popular Party, and the Latin Friendship. Part of this document deals with the “structure and importance of anti-Semitic formations” and the “means of propaganda employed and their objectives”, propaganda through meetings, balls, distribution of books to the unfortunate. The propaganda of the “Latin Friendship” has already had consequences, in particular the boycott of Jewish businesses and the liberal professions, which see their turnover decrease.
