A plaque to remember the children deported to the Nazi death camps from Paris during the Second World War. I like that some good soul places flowers here. The plaque is on the side of a children's school, asking us to never forget the barbarities carried out on innocents by the Nazis and the collaborator Vichy regime. A back street we just happened to walk down in Paris after visiting Notre Dame, not what we expected to see at all, just on the corner of a wall, a little reminder that even the most ordinary city streets have often been witness to history, including the darker periods. Makes me shiver to think that just over 60 years ago Nazi solider would have stood here preparing to drag children off to the Camps.
