IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS LE MAROC

About the Book

Après plus de deux millénaires de présence en sol marocain, la grande majorité des Juifs du Maroc ont quitté leur pays natal. L'ouvrage « Il était une fois le Maroc » retrace l'histoire du Maroc et de sa communauté juive durant les deux derniers siècles, incluant la période du Protectorat français. Fervent adepte du rapprochement judéomusulman, l'auteur est convaincu que la compréhension du passé, qui fut difficile à bien des égards, mais qui n’en a pas moins connu d’autres moments de convivialité, est essentielle pour pouvoir établir une nouvelle relation entre tous les ressortissants du Maroc.
