Description

This report pays tribute to the work of Alfred Gigi who worked to establish a decree in favor of the Jews. He explains the struggle to obtain a decree granting French citizenship to the Jews of Algeria and to protect the rights of the Jews. Despite this victory, we must remain vigilant and take active action against anti-Semitism, which is still virulent. This report also discusses the question of the establishment of the Algerian Jewish Committee for the Social Sciences by Mr. Levi-Valensi, who had an important role with Alfred Gigi. The latter, after thanking the various people who intervened in his actions, explained the steps he had taken vis-à-vis the public authorities to obtain recognition of the Jews of Algeria. His action was difficult, especially with the Bell Abbas affair
