FINDING LOST KEYS

When Benjamin Stora's mother died in 2000, he was clearing out her bedside table and found the keys to the apartment in Constantine that they left in 1962. Finding these keys also unlocked the door to memories.

War is a background noise that suddenly grows louder. In August 1955 when soldiers installed a machine gun in the four-year-old Stora's bedroom to shoot Algerians fleeing in the streets below, he just didn't understand. A few years later when he caught his parents talking in hushed voice, he heard about their fears and their plans to leave. But his life and childhood were also full of happiness and warmth. Benjamin Stora's memories are visual, colourful, sensory. He describes the wonders of the hammam, surrounded by women, swimming at Philippeville beach (now Skikda), the local cinema showing American westerns, and the fun of public holidays.
