A desecrated Jewish cemetery in Algeria has been taken over by authorities who are advancing a construction project on the site.
The demolition of the cemetery in the coastal town of Oran marks the end of Algeria’s once-magnificent Jewish community, who first came to settle in the African country in the 14th century and expanded after the expulsion from Spain.
