in Southwestern France met.
In olden days the south of
France was noted for its great
communities and the city of Avig-

very important part in Jewish his-

Eastern Europe, notably from
Poland. Most of these, through
the activities of the Inas-Ica-

and have been settled in the south-

France. They have either become
farm laborers or crop-sharing
farmers, that is, leasing land from
the local peasantry and tilli,ig it
