A decree abolishing sixty-two anti-Jewish decrees of the Vichy regime was issued today by Gen. Henri Giraud, implementing his speech of last Sunday. At the same time he abrogated the Cremieux Law, which gave native Algerian Jews French citizenship.
Today’s decree nullifies the Vichy laws in Morocco, Tunisia and West Africa as well as in Algeria. In his address Sunday, Giraud had indicated that the anti-Jewish laws in Algeria only would be revoked. (Text of the Giraud decree was not available as the Bulletin went to press.)
