This paper seeks to offer an examination of Jewish American presence in wartime and postwar Tunisia. Its primary objective is to explore the role played by Jewish American organizations in the rescue, rehabilitation and reconstruction of Tunisia’s Jewish population between 1942 and 1967. During the course of the Tunisian Campaign, a battle launched by the Allied forces to evict the Axis powers from Tunisian territory, a secret letter exchanged between presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill stated the following: “Even before military operations in Tunisia are finished, there should be no pause in our effort to build up powerful forces [therein]”. Only a few days after the end of the Tunisian Campaign, the Joint Distribution Committee, America’s largest Jewish American organization, allocated a four-million franc grant to assist Tunisia’s Jewish population. Soon afterwards, dozens of Jewish American organizations poured into the country to initiate large-scale relief and rehabilitation programs on behalf of the country’s Jewish community. This non-governmental, humanitarian presence co-occurred with, and ran in parallel to official political American support of nationalist anti-colonial movements in the country, as well as a heavy economic presence under USAID (United States Agency for International Development) auspices, both within the broader global context of postwar U.S foreign policy of interventionism. Another important international context that cannot be overlooked was the establishment of the Zionist state in 1948 and the consequent mass Jewish exodus from various Arab countries to the newly-established settler colonial state. Such a tangled, intricate historical background triggers natural academic curiosity to explore the connection between these complex historical facts. Hence came the idea to investigate the following topic: “The Role of Jewish American Organizations in the Rescue, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Tunisia’s Jewish Community between 1942 and 1967”.
