Chronology of
the exodus of
יהודים YEHUDIM
from the Republic of Tunisia.

This chronology links departures by יהודים YEHUDIM from the Republic of Tunisia with the laws, attacks, threats and institutional changes that shaped the community's contraction. It also follows the remnant after the main departure. When appropriate, entries identify French State (Vichy regime) and Nazi German power directly rather than assigning their acts to the Arab state.
