Une escale dans la tempête. Des Juifs palestiniens en Corse (1915-1920)

Florence Berceot
From December 1915 till August 1920 eight hundred refugees, Israelite citizens or Jews under French protection, expelled from the Ottoman provinces of Syria and Palestine, were welcomed in Corsica. Constituted in two groups, one in Ajaccio, the other in Bastia, their taking in was in charge of the island administration with the help of the Universal Israelite Alliance. Clothes, hygienic school, work, everything is looked upon in order to make their forced stay tolerable, so as to make it easier for the exiles to share the way of life of the island society. When at last, the time comes for them to return home, the majority of them chooses to leave the island. In spite of that, the links between them and Corsica remain alive. Some of them decide to live in Corsica, others return between the two World Wars. Up to now, among the small Israelite community of Bastia, descendants of these refugees can still be found.
