PAIN, FRIENDSHIP, HOPE

Roseline Hamel, sister of Father Jacques Hamel; Nassera Kermiche, mother of one of the attackers. Introduced by Bernhard Scholz, President of the Meeting for Friendship Amongst Peoples ETS Foundation

Roseline Hamel lost her brother, Father Jacques, killed on the altar in 2016. Nassera Kermiche lost her son; he was one of the attackers. Two women, two sufferings impossible to bear alone. They met and became friends, more than that, now they are “sisters in sorrow”, as recounted in the book of the same title (Edizioni Ares-Lev), co-authored with the journalist who recorded their accounts. This is their story: a hope for everyone.
