The Lost Children of Paris

Posted: 2010-08-23

As we walk around Paris we can learn something more at every step we take. This plaque appears on the school next door to the Eglise St Severin on rue St Jacques. Nothing more needs to be said.

We will not forget the children.
To the Children who were exterminated.

To the memory of the children, pupils of this school, deported from 1942 to 1944 because they were born Jewish, innocent victims of the barbaric Nazis with the active support of the Vichy government.

They were exterminated in the death camps.

We will never forget them.
