Abstract: Immigration, Algerian Grandparents and Memory : Between Transmission and ForgettingInterviews with grandparents of Algerian origin living in France show the ambivalence regarding memory and its transmission to grandchildren. Such phenomena are important in the study of migrations. The way grandparents attempt transmission varies in accordance with their family positions and their social status in the host country. The process also differs according to whether the grandparents came after their retirement, or go back and forth between their country of origin and the host country, or if they have a special status, comme the « Harkis », for example.
