Hello!
Today, I discovered a new monument in Paris, behind Le Louvre Museum.
We are in the first district of Paris and the monument is for the children from this district.
They were 11.000 and 5 never saw the school.

Behind, the district Hall.

A beautiful monument. I like the glass. Thanks for showing. Could you, or someone else, provide a translation? Thank you.
Thank you Michel. The monument is indeed a fitting tribute to such a pathetic waste of five young lives - cut so horribly short in the worst possible manner. A credit to the first district of Paris.
