Description
Mohamed Tazir looks back on the arrest of his grandfather, of which he was a witness on the night of May 1, 1957 in Algiers. "It was the hardest time of the 'Battle of Algiers'. They broke into our rooms, woke everyone up and emptied all the cupboards," he recalls. "We don't have a grave on which to mourn our parents who have gone missing. It's a wound that can't be healed, until we, ourselves, are gone," he adds. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
