"Leaving in Algeria, from Algeria 1954-1962 "

This exhibition opens a page of history up to men and women who lived this war.

The museum gives the floor to the actors of this period, called and recalled, black, to the harkis. A single word links these communities of destiny to each other: Algeria. However, There is not an Algerian war but wars in Algeria. Each testimony is a unique table with its joys and sorrows. They saw not an Algeria, But "Algeria" with its richness and great poverty. The soldiers discovered another culture, despised by some, Admired by others. But very little remained insensitive to this new universe. Once installed on site, A dichotomy in daily life took place between operational units and support units; So many different experiences and special memories. The exhibition also traces the fate of five black feet families, All installed before the 20th century and caught up in military and political events as well as five Harkis courses. All are definitely uprooted.
