From Times Wire Reports
A wall engraved with the names of 76,000 Jews deported from France to Nazi death camps was unveiled in Paris, launching the country’s commemorations of the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation.
Among the names of those deported between 1942 and 1944 are those of 11,000 children.
The wall faces Paris’ Shoah Memorial to all Jews killed in World War II death camps.
It will be inaugurated Tuesday by President Jacques Chirac before he travels to Poland for a ceremony marking Auschwitz’s liberation by Soviet troops in 1945.
