I stayed in the 11th Arrondissement for a few days last month. It was couple of days before I noticed it, but right across the street from my lodgings was a small plaque on the facade of an École Maternelle bearing an inscription similar to the one the author describes. In some ways it was more affecting even than the Deportation Memorial on the Ile de la Cité because it was right there in the streets where the victims—some 1200 child deportees—had lived. A sobering moment in my tourist’s sojourn.

In reply to Laurie.

In February 2017 France Revisited published an article about the Camp des Milles by Wendy Dubreuil:

If you go to the Camp des Milles, a Vichy concentration camp near Aix-en-Provence, now a museum, you will find a permanent photographic exhibition collected by Serge Karlsfeld of the children who were deported to Auschwitz.

This is a stunning article that confronts the reader with unexpected pain and sadness, much like the experience of the author.
