Between 1954-1962, one hundred to three hundred young French people refused to participate in the Algerian war. These rebels, soldiers or conscripts were non-violent or anti-colonialists.

In 2016 he returned to Algeria and reunited with his former students. He also met French refractories, now living in France or Switzerland.
