Arrêtes par la police du gouvernement de Vichy, complice de l'occupant nazi, plus de 11,000 enfants furent déportés de France de 1942 à 1944 et assassinés à Auschwitz parce qu'ils étaient nés Juifs. Nombre d'entre eux vivaient à Paris, parmi eux les "Tout-Petits" n'ont pas eu le temps de fréquenter l'école. Passant, lis leur nom, ta mémoire est leur unique sépulture.

Arrested by the police of the Vichy government, in complicity with the Nazi occupation, more than 11,000 children were deported from France between 1942 and 1944 and assassinated at Auschwitz because they were born Jews. Many among them lived in Paris, among them the very young children who didn't have time to go to school. You who pass by, read their names, your memory is their only monument.
