Papers by Edith Shaked
By May 13, 1943, the Allies liberated 400,000 Vichy Jews in "France on the other side of the Mediterranean" (overseas France, French North Africa), out of the 700,000 Jews who were persecuted in the Shoah in France. Those 400,000 Jews governed and persecuted de facto and de jure, by the French government of Vichy headed by Nazi collaborator Marshal Philippe Petain, were spared the deadly mass deportations that happened in metropolitan France, and the rest of Europe in the German sphere of influence - like the Jews of Denmark who escaped to neutral Sweden. Operation Torch started the liberation of France, and enabled Algiers to be the new capital of France. Torch also opened a second front in the European theater of World War II, with the Allies marching to Sicily and Italy from liberated Nazi-occupied Vichy Tunisia.
There are some Holocaust centers and Holocaust historians, who present map of continental Europe , not showing or not specifying that Europe in the Holocaust, was "Europe, including the North African colonies," as per Hitler, the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure, Bauer, Yahil, Longerich and other. They use a continental approach, while the Holocaust in Europe was a political "state-sponsored" process implemented by the European governments in their nations in continental Europe and their overseas possessions.

…the crimes perpetrated by National Socialism {Nazism} were of an unprecedented character. ... National Socialism did not just inflict horrendous suffering on many millions of people, ...and genocide, but it proposed to reorganize humanity ...according to race ... all over the globe. ...
Nazism’s goal to reorganize humanity according to race all over the globe did not endanger the Jews only. The Nazis planned to implement a global solution to the Jewish question, and to create a racist world dominated by the 'Aryan” race."2 --Yehuda Bauer, 2011 Academic Advisor at Yad Vashem, its former Director; a most respected authority on the Holocaust.
North Africa ceased to exist as a political entity. During the Holocaust in Europe, Maghreb, North Africa, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria (three French “departments.” ) – all suggesting a Muslim and Arab world – were just “geographical expressions.” The historian André Chouraqui correctly wrote that, “with French occupation of Algeria in 1830 –an event which marked the beginning of profound French influence…- and the subsequent establishment of French protectorates in Tunisia and Morocco in 1881 and 1912 respectively, North Africa could no longer be regarded as an historical and political unit. Henceforth, its development proceeded along national rather than regional lines, each country with its own distinguishing characteristics.”
