A proposito di questo titolo

In July 1962, after 132 years of French rule, Algeria became independent. But the story didn't end there. For the million-strong pieds-noirs community—European settlers born in Algeria—the ceasefire unleashed a panic. Within months, nearly all of them fled, abandoning homes, farms, and businesses in a chaotic exodus. This episode follows the final months of the Algerian War through the eyes of the pieds-noirs: the Organisation de l'Armée Secrète's desperate terrorism, the mass flight to ports like Oran and Algiers, and the painful arrival in a France that barely acknowledged them. We explore the harki—Algerians who fought for France and were left behind—and the cultural erasure of a century-old community. Drawing on oral histories and the work of historian Benjamin Stora, we trace how the Exodus shaped both Algeria's post-colonial identity and France's lingering amnesia.
