A desecrated Jewish cemetery in Algeria has been taken over by authorities who are advancing a construction project on the site.

The demolition of the cemetery in the coastal town of Oran marks the end of Algeria's once-magnificent Jewish community, who first came to settle in theAfrican country in the 14th century and expanded after the expulsion from Spain.

Anti-Semitism began to grow in the 18th century and reached its peak duringWorld War II, when France was defeated by Germany, leaving Algeria under the jurisdiction of the pro-Nazi Vichy government.

After World War II, Jews attempted to remain neutral during the Algerianstruggle for independence but found themselves the victims of attacks from both Algerian and French nationalists.

The Jewish community, numbering about 30,000 people, continued its regular life, but in 1956 rioters started attacking Jewish property. Attacks quickly escalated and began to claim casualties.

The security situation gradually deteriorated, worsening considerably in 1960 with the desecration of the Jewish cemetery of Oran.

After the implementation of the Evian Accords, in which Jews were stripped of citizenship and protection under the law, as well as the start of massacres against the European population, Jews began to leave Oran en masse in 1962.

In 1963, a year after Algeria gained independence from France, only 850 Jews remained in Oran. By the end of the decade, that number shrank even further.

In 1975, the Great Synagogue was converted into a mosque and by the early 2000s no Jews were believed to have remained in Oran.

Bullshit!
Who do you think you take Algeria for? The cemeteries whether Jewish, or Christians have never been molested or uprooted in Algeria. Beside in the Jewish cemeteries , Algerian Jews that are buried there, What is the reason of a country uprooting her own citizens!

Thank you for responding to my post. However, I thought you'd investigate this issue yourself, rather than dismissing it out-of-hand.

THE OATH OF THE BRAVE

CHE GUEVARA ON THE ALGERIAN REVOLUTION

"THERE IS NO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE"
#THE BATTLE OF THE ALGERIAN PEOPLE IS UNIQUE IN THE HISTORY OF OPPRESSED PEOPLE. THERE IS NO OTHER BETTER EXAMPLE OF COURAGE AND SACRIFICE THAN THE ONE GIVEN BY THE ALGERIANS. THE BATTLE THEY CARRY TODAY IS A BATTLE FOR LIBERTY, NOT ONLY FOR THEMSELVES, BUT FOR ALL THE OPPRESSED, WHERE EVER THEY ARE AND IN ALL CONTINENTS.
HENCE, IT IS OUR DUTY TO SUPPORT, AND WITH ALL THE MEANS IN OUR POSSESSION THE ALGERIAN CAUSE, BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS THE CAUSE OF THE ENTIRE HUMANITY#

If it was true, the Algerian newspapers wouldn't be silent and wouldn't have been silenced. Rest assured that the Jewish cemeteries, Christians or other denominations, throughout Algeria are respected and protected like any cemetery in the country. They are still a lot of Algerian Jewish that live in the country, especially in Oran, normally, like any other inhabitant..
