Holocaust memorial

Paris

The city of Paris unveiled a memorial this week to the French Jews who died in the Nazi death camps. A stone wall just outside the new Holocaust Museum in the Marais district bears the names of the more than 76,000 French citizens, including 11,000 children, who were deported to the camps. Most of them were sent to Auschwitz, and only 2,500 survived. This week marks the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
