Summary/Abstract: For decades the issue of Harkis was not present in the public debate in France. It has only changed in the 21st century when the French Senate passed the resolution establishing 19 March as the remembrance day of the victims of the French-Algerian war, which was more than fifty years after these events. However, thanks to some recent elaborations of some French scholars and the specific pressure from the community of the Harkis, the secret of the events related to the end of the war in Algeria, which had been hidden from the public, has been revealed.
