LE MONDE'S OPINION – WHAT YOU NEED TO SEE

He lies on a sofa, wearing his ever-present jeans. But Antonio Fischetti, 64, a columnist for Charlie Hebdo, is filming more of a performance than a therapy session in his feature film Je ne veux plus y aller maman ('I don't want to go anymore, Mom'). The man listening to him, seated behind, in a vest and shirt, is none other than Yann Diener: the therapist who took over the column of his colleague Elsa Cayat, a Charlie Hebdo writer who was killed in the terrorist attack on January 7, 2015, along with seven other members of the satirical magazine's editorial team - cartoonists Cabu, Charb, Honoré, Tignous and Wolinski, economist Bernard Maris, proofreader Mustapha Ourrad. Although seriously injured, some survived, such as Riss, Philippe Lançon, and Simon Fieschi – but the latter was found dead in a Paris hotel room on October 17.

In total, the shooting carried out by brothers Chérif and Saïd Kouachi, in retaliation for the publication of Muhammad cartoons, claimed 12 lives. Fischetti himself had been unable to attend the editorial meeting on January 7, 2015, at the magazine's offices on Rue Nicolas-Appert in Paris: He had gone to the funeral of his aunt, his mother's sister – similarly, Luz arrived late that day, and is also considered a "survivor."
