People who survive are still victims of terror attacks

Fred Dewilde, a graphic novelist and survivor of both the 2015 Bataclan and 2016 Nice attacks, died earlier this week by suicide. His 2018 graphic memoir “La Morsure” or “The Bite” was a bestseller in France and told the story of how he coped with experiencing both attacks. Dewilde was a regular on French television speaking about his experience as a survivor. He was also an active member of Life for Paris, a support group for the survivors of the November 2015 attacks. In a statement, his family said he struggled to live with the trauma of the attacks. Rebecca Rosman reports from Paris.
