Tunisia was a strategic territory during the Second World War, particularly between 1942 and 1943. The country experienced German occupation, Allied bombings, and the mobilization of thousands of Tunisian and North African soldiers alongside the French forces.
This period deeply impacted the civilian population, local infrastructure, and various communities — including the Jewish community, which suffered under Nazi persecution. The memory of these events remains present through testimonies, monuments, and traces scattered across the towns and villages of Tunisia.
