Questions about jewish migrations from Morocco: "Operation mural" (summer 1961) : return from diaspora or formation of a new diaspora ?

International audienceThis project is at its very beginning. It deals with the illegal emigration to Israel of 530 Moroccan Jewish children during the summer of 1961. It is mainly a project about social history, but in a political context which needs to be precised. Moreover, it raises the question of the interactions between politics and society, and the pretension of politics to shape society. Taking these 530 children as a sample, it is my intention to study the sociology of their families and to reconstruct their migratory path all their life
