During World War II, Paris occupied under Nazi Germany saw thousands of French Jews deported to concentration camps. Many of these were children, and many of them lived in the Marais, which has always been a center of Jewish cultural life in Paris. This memorial plaque, one of many that can be found around the Marais, is outside of a school from which students were deported.
