Lucien-Gilles Benguigui, « L'École Gilbert Bloch : Témoignage sur un lieu de rencontre entre jeunes séfarades et ashkénazes dans la France d'après-guerre », Archives Juives, ID : 10670/1.eae1jl
This article examines a rather unique encounter between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews in metropolitan France after the Second World War : The “ École Gilbert Bloch” and its alumni society. Founded in 1946 by the Éclaireurs Israélites de France, the school trained leaders of Jewish francophone youth movements, enrolling equal numbers of young Ashkenazim and Sephardic. Relations between the two Diasporas appear to have been close, as evidenced by the number of “intercommunal” marriages. This article offers some insights into this rather singular phenomenon.
