Renseignement concernant les commerçants juifs, Alger, 13 août 1941
Description
In this report, it is pointed out that Jewish traders would be more reasonable than French and Muslim traders, for propaganda purposes. The Jews would sell shirts for 30 francs, whereas everywhere else you couldn’t find them for less than 130 francs. Some Jews in Berrouaghia, bought bread when there was a shortage, and sold it without profit to less early-morning Muslims, in order to gain their confidence “and” to freely criticize the Administration “.
