ABSTRACT
Mistreatment and violation
of international laws are recurrent events during Second World War (WWII) and
torture is a frequent method used in the Algerian War. This paper investigates
the escalation of violence which, in some cases, degenerates into torture and
offers a comparison between the situation of Axis Prisoners of War (1943-1946)
and the imprisonment’s conditions in Algeria (1954-1962). In spite of the
temporal interval and different political contexts, in some cases there’s a
strange “continuity”.
KEYWORDS
