About this ebook

Aprs plus de deux millnaires de prsence en sol marocain, la grande majorit des Juifs du Maroc ont quitt leur pays natal. L'ouvrage Il tait une fois le Maroc retrace l'histoire du Maroc et de sa communaut juive durant les deux derniers sicles, incluant la priode du Protectorat franais. Fervent adepte du rapprochement judomusulman, l'auteur est convaincu que la comprhension du pass, qui fut difficile bien des gards, mais qui nen a pas moins connu dautres moments de convivialit, est essentielle pour pouvoir tablir une nouvelle relation entre tous les ressortissants du Maroc.
