A series of Real-photo postcards from the "Fez riots" - "The Trital" - Morocco, 1912
6 Real-photo postcards from 'Pogrom Fez' that took place in Nissan 1912.
'The Trital' (a word in Moroccan Arabic that took a meaning parallel to "pogrom" in Morocco) was a series of anti-Jewish riots in the Moroccan city of Fez, which took place between April 17 and 19, 1912. One week after Passover and the Mimunah celebrations, following the failure of Muslim rebels opposed to the Fez Agreement, to damage various French properties in the city. During the riots, thousands of Muslim soldiers and masses of residents of the city of Fez broke into the city's Malach (Jewish Quarter), looted it and attacked its Jewish residents. The riots killed 51 Jews, set fire to large sections of the Malach, and forced 12,000 residents to flee and remain homeless for weeks.
In the postcards: Jews fleeing for their lives into the courtyard of the Sultan (which also served as a zoo in its inner entrances), sights of house ruins and shops in the Jewish neighborhoods, Arab rioters in the district near the French consulate, a structure soaked in shells, the remains of burned houses.
General condition good.
