On the eve of the Second World War, 90,000 Jews lived in Tunisia. On November 9, 1942, the Nazis invade the country. They organize raids, the most important of which takes place in Tunis. In total, nearly 5,000 Jews are sent to forced labor in 32 camps scattered throughout the country. From April 1943, the first deportations to camps in Europe will begin.
