Jews outside Europe under Axis occupation

Jews outside Europe under Axis occupation suffered greatly during World War II. While there is academic consensus that the extermination of the non-European Jews was a long-term goal for the Nazi regime, it is less clear whether there were any imminent plans or policies to that end. Although there is no unanimity among historians on this point, PHD student Matthew Ghobrial Cockerill writes that "The purported evidence for planned extermination operations outside of Europe is unpersuasive." == In European North Africa == There were 400,000 Jews in France on the other side of the Mediterranean in North Africa (French Algeria, which was an integral part of metropolitan France, the French Protectorate in Morocco and the French protectorate of Tunisia).
