The Cicurels were a prominent Sephardic Jewish family in Egypt throughout the first half of the 20th century, best known for the elite department store chain bearing their family name. Moreno Cicurel, the family patriarch, emigrated from Turkey in the latter half of the 19th century.
Other members of the family remained in Smyrne until the beginning of 20th century and then migrated to the USA (San Francisco) and to France. Moreno Cicurel established Les Grands Magasins Cicurel at the turn of the century. His three sons helped grow the business to prosperity and acclaim following his death.
The Cicurels were initially able to survive the growing anti-Semitism in Egypt following the creation of Israel. But ultimately, the government sequestered the business and forced its sale. The family left Egypt and dispersed across Europe and South America. Today the stores remain, but only as a shell, devoid of their former grandeur.
The article is concerned only with the descendants of Moreno Cicurel who were born or active in Egypt.
