A traumatic memory for the 62-year-old host.

“My French teacher told me: ‘The stain, on the board!’

Faced with Yann Barthès who suspected the host of not liking the teachers, Jean-Luc Reichmann, who admitted to having esteem for the teachers, returned to a reflection which aimed at his birthmark: “At the age of 14, it was the phenomenon of difference. In front of 32 students, my French teacher told me: ‘The stain on the board!’ In just one time, it’s true that we take it in the belly. It marinates and then we tell ourselves that we are all different. We were all different, there were little ones, redheads, freckles, fat ones, thin ones, blacks, North Africans… so what? What is the problem ? Our strength is our difference.”

“I have been fighting for the difference for years”

He confided his fight in an interview to TV Major Channels in April 2021: “I have been fighting for difference for years. I don’t know if you know, but it seems that I have a stain on my nose! And then, I have a little sister who is profoundly deaf, which also helped me in this reflection. And to continue later:With all the people who are mobilizing to highlight the difference, it allows us to move the machine forward. It is necessary to advance this dialogue, the knowledge of the other and of oneself, essential to see how it is possible to advance mentalities. My fight is the difference so as not to fall into indifference. Yes, there has been progress. But we keep on fighting“, he pointed out.
