Rapport au sujet de la réception du statut des Juifs, Constantine, 21 octobre 1940
Description
The Muslim population welcomed the status of the Jews with great joy. “We were above all surprised that the Jewish problem had not been considered under its essential aspect, the racial aspect; and we were surprised at the complete political possibilities which still seemed to be reserved for a category of Jews. The statute brought all the desirable appeasements”. The Jews are appalled and observe the greatest reserve.
