Inside the Deportation Memorial
The walls are convered in poetry, the lights dimmed, and in the walls are the names of each death camp, from each location a bit of earth was collected.



Deportation Memorial
A memorial on Ile de la Cite commemorating the 200 000 French men, women, and children deported by the Nazis during World War 2. You arrive at the top of a starircase, have your bag checked, and head down the passage. Arriving in the triangular shaped courtyard, you wonder where the memorial is. Turn completely about, and see a narrow fissure between two walls; the entrance.
