Jewish Studies. On Sunday 7 August, PhD student Rob Kanter led a talk on ‘The Jews in North Africa during the Holocaust’ at Heaton Park Synagogue. This was part of the synagogue’s fast day programme for Tisha Ba Av (9th Av). The interactive presentation explored the complexities and varying experiences of Jews in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia from 1940-1943. The aim of the presentation was to broaden the audience’s understanding of the Holocaust beyond the European mainland.
