Morocco University Holds Holocaust Conference
(Ha'aretz) David Sheen - A symposium on the Holocaust hosted by Al-Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco, in September included three days of presentations and panels on the Nazi genocide, its repercussions for Morocco, and the historical relationships between Jews and Muslims in the Middle East. During World War Two, when Morocco was occupied by the French under the Vichy regime that collaborated with the Nazis, Moroccan King Mohammed V is said to have protected the Jews living in his domain from suffering the fate that befell the Jews of Europe.
