Les étudiants juifs étrangers à Strasbourg au tournant des années trente
Lynda Khayat
The great number of foreign students registered by Strasbourg University, in majority Jews of Polish or Rumanian nationality, victims of anti-Semitism in their birth countries, brings to light the particularly important attraction of French Universities for students coming from Central and South-Oriental Europe at the turn of the thirties. The academic institution exerts a close watch and control over these students in a stressed environment, becoming still more difficult with the arrival of numerous Jewish students leaving Germany from 1933 and with the restrictive measures adopted by Poland for the equivalent ratings of foreign diplomas ; the hosting society undergoes an economical crisis which favors a rise of xenophobia ; therefore the foreign student is considered more and more as a rival. Lastly, in the midst of the micro-society of the University, the foreign Jewish students introduce conflicts, often violent ones, about Zionism against communism.
