Taken and assembled by Elias Suraqui (1893–1977), an Algerian Jewish architect and philanthropist based in Morocco, the album bears witness to the systemic hardship endured by those it depicts, including the material consequences of colonial and antisemitic oppression. Drawing on evidence from the Jean-Louis Cohen fonds in the CCA Collection, Huet positions the album as the most substantial visual testimonies to life and architecture in Casablanca’s Jewish quarter in the 1940s.Jacobé Huet is an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago and a historian of modern architecture with a focus on the transcultural Mediterranean.
