The massacres of May 8, 1945 are a history that refuses to be forgotten...

45 thousand Algerians were killed in one day...

The memory of the massacres of May 8, 1945 brings to mind a great tragedy in the history of Algeria.

Hundreds of thousands of Algerians went out in a peaceful march to celebrate the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II, and to remind France of its promise to grant independence after the defeat of Nazi Germany, to show the true face of the occupier, who reneged on the promise and tried to suppress the demonstrations, killing a large number of Algerians with bullets from the French army. European settler militias, and dropped them from helicopters, especially in the governorates of Constantine, Setif, Kharrata, Guelma...

Here the national movement realized that “freedom is taken and not given.” It chose armed struggle instead of political struggle, and preparations began for the great liberation revolution that culminated in independence on July 5, 1962, after 132 years of colonialism.

Glory and eternity to our martyrs .

Long live free and independent Algeria.
