Excerpt: PARIS – Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo on Thursday inaugurated a monument dedicated to the memory of 11,450 Jewish children deported from France by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1942 and 1944.

Most of these children were exterminated in concentration camps. Some of those who survived, together with other Holocaust survivors and French Jewish leaders, were present at Thursday’s ceremony.

The monument, which was created by Spanish sculptor Casto Solano, features metal figures of children in various sizes.
