We were at the heart of Moroccan Amazigh, Jewish, and Arab history, as well as Morocco’s African roots. In addition to that, the town is known for its rich historical, cultural and religious diversity, which we witnessed during our visit. The Jewish cemetery was what caught our attention the most. Hence, with the support of the High Atlas Foundation, a project to organize workshops to restore the entire cemetery is planned. It was truly a touching experience, through which I have determined much more must be done in order to preserve Morocco’s many identities.
