The Evian agreement by
which Algeria received independ-
ence from France gives citizens
resident in Algeria the oppor-
tunity to choose either nation-
ality within three years.
Throughout the Algerian strug-
gle for independence, leaders
of the independence movement
who were then in exile ex-
pressed their determination to
treat Algerian Jews, after inde-
pendence was won, as "Algerian
natives." The mass exodus of
Algerian Jews immediately after
independence day was believed
to have induced Algerian gov-
ernment leaders to try to reas-
sure the few remaining Jews so
that they will remain in-Algeria.

During the debate on the

the families of those who died

less "hope at the same time
that nobody will dare boast that
