The role of Jewish American organizations in the rescue, rehabilitation and reconstruction of Tunisia's Jewish community between 1942 and 1967 [electronic resource] /by Maissa Arfaoui. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xv, 350 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. A Historical Overview of Jewish Life in Tunisia (1881 - 1967) -- Chapter 2. Ideological and Political Frameworks -- Chapter 3. The Role of Jewish American Organizations in the Rescue of Tunisia's Jewry -- Chapter 4. Postwar Rehabilitation of Tunisia's Jewish Community: A Means to an End -- Chapter 5. Reconstruction through Resettlement: How Two Thousand Years of Jewish Life in Tunisia vanished overnight.

This book fills a major historical gap by investigating the role played by Jewish American organizations in the rescue, rehabilitation and reconstruction of Tunisia's Jewish population during and after World War Two. Using a variety of archival sources to explore the intricacies of this intervention and the dynamics of interactions between these organizations and local Jewish leaders as well as Tunisian government officials, this book highlights that Jewish American organizations present in Tunisia during the wartime and postwar periods played a major role not only in the rescue and relief of the country's Jewish victims of war and German occupation but also in their educational, vocational, and medical rehabilitation which aimed to prepare them for immigration to Palestine.
