Monument for dead children in Paris

[lebus12]

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.

Arrested by the police of Vichy, accomplice of the Nazi occupation, over 11,000 children were deported to France from 1942 to 1944 and murdered in Auschwitz because they were born Jews
