We all suffered Guest: Georges Salines

In this episode of WeCanFindAWay, I spoke with Georges Salines from France who lost his daughter Lola in the Battaclan terror attack in Paris in 2015. He explained how he got involved with Retissons du Lien, an NGO in Belgium that brought together the families of victims and perpetrators (covered in the second episode of season seven); what reaction he got from friends and family by being in the same group with perpetrator families and what he learned about by being in there.

He was shaken by how different the families turned out to be from the families he imagined of a Jihadist. He discovered how much suffering there have been for both sides through the loss of a child. He also talked about how victims needed voice.
