Not all Jews of Tunisia were required to wear a distinctive Jewish badge. It was only required of Jewish men who were sent to forced labor in the cities of Sousse, Sfax, Moknine and Kairouan and also in forced labour camps in Tunisia. There is one badge from Tunisia in the Yad Vashem Artifacts Collection.
