Victory in Algiers! The Jewish Heroes of North Africa who Changed the Course of World War II
Hosted By: Sousa Mendes Foundation
This film and discussion program focuses on the lesser-known story of the Jewish resistance in Algeria, led by José Aboulker, which played a pivotal role in the Allied capture of North Africa in November 1942, known as “Operation Torch.” This marked the first major Allied victory of World War II, significantly altering the course of the war and preventing the deportation of North Africa’s Jewish population. The film, “Shadows of Freedom,” recounts this dramatic true story.
