Forced to abandon their homes, they were regrouped in camps. Now back in Mansourah where he was born, Malek and his daughter Dorothée-Myriam compile oral memories of a time until now never mentioned, which most young people know nothing about, although the upheavals it caused to this part of rural Algeria are unprecedented.
