Algerian Jews
Extracted from the Wikipedia article History of the Jews in Algeria.
Algerian Jews are unique in that they are the only community of North African Jews that did not overwhelmingly emigrate to Israel during the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries; instead, the majority of Algerian Jews chose France as their destination. Their "repatriation" represents a unique case in the history of Jewish migration given that even though they were physically uprooted, they "returned" to France as citizens and not as refugees.
