My maternal uncle had left Algeria in 1961... I was 13 years old. And since then I had not had any relationship with him or his family... I had not gone to his funeral 10 years ago either... I loved him, however. So it was not him that I had boycotted, but the country he had chosen... Israel. What for more than 50 years had prevented the communist Algerian Jew that I was? My daughter Naouel wanted to accompany me in this adventure and I accepted. A debt to be repaid.

Part I: Yom Kippur : A forgotten family, the Jews of Algeria, who have also lost sight of themselves, who have passed on nothing to my children, who have made me feel ignorant... Will I be able to get rid of all my faults? For I had to admit that I knew nothing about Israel. Neither of its past nor of its present. A mysterious and forgotten word that my mother often used, "Charbeb", suddenly opened the doors for me...

PART II: HANUKA: But why was the world only interested in Arab refugees? In Algeria, where I had lived until 1993, only the Palestinian Arab misfortune had a name: "the Naqba". Hadn't the Arab-Muslim world purged itself of all its Jews? What if there had not been... one... but two "Naqbas"? Every day the gap between who I had been and who I was becoming is widening... And little by little my family, until then a ghost, is being rebuilt... At his grave, will I have the forgiveness of Uncle?

Part III: Purim: Suddenly I realize that if all peoples had been massacred at one time or another, the Jews had been massacred at all times. Was there another people in the world always at war, just to exist? Refusing to give up so quickly my dream of brotherhood, I decided to continue our journey... When I arrived in Israel, I had thought that the question of Peace would be an obstacle. I was mistaken. From the North to the South of Israel, Jew or Arab, everyone had their own solution. Or their way of living "the conflict", as they say here...

Part IV: Pesach: What if my hostility to Israel had been only an attempt to escape that word so short and difficult to pronounce: Jew? What if it was the same for humanity? And yet, isn't the multi-ethnic society that I had dreamed of in Algeria there? This people-world, after all, who is it? Our journey continues... A journey of all dangers... Free of the narratives that had made me up, wasn't I going to get lost? And my daughter Naouel, what was she going to do with this late transmission? Once we had found our whole family, would Uncle's ghost stop haunting me?
