Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (Algeria) 6/62 24) EXODUS: Like so many animals fleeing to Noah's \ ark, terror-shaken European settlers cram aboard ships and \ planes. Caught between fear of O.A.S. retaliation and Moslem \ domination under Algerian independence, they flee to France. \ Credit: Marc Riboud © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
