Forty-two names etched in stone. This is À la Mémoire des Élèves de cette École Plaque. A poignant memorial. It stands silently. It whispers stories of children lost. Each name a life cut short. A tragedy echoing through time.
This plaque isn’t just a list of names. It’s a testament. It’s a tribute to the young students. These children attended Collège Jean-Baptiste Clément. They were victims of Nazi barbarity. Their stories are interwoven with the horrors of the Holocaust. The plaque commemorates their sacrifice. It serves as a solemn reminder.
The Collège Jean-Baptiste Clément took on a project. They wanted to honor these 42 children. They undertook extensive research. Students studied historical documents. They visited the Shoah Memorial. The students’ work culminated in a powerful memorial. The plaque became a centerpiece of their remembrance efforts.
Their dedication earned the college a prestigious award. In 2018 the Collège Jean-Baptiste Clément received the Prix Annie et Charles Corrin. This prize recognizes educational work on the Shoah. It reflects the school’s commitment. They chose to remember the victims. They chose education as their weapon against forgetting.
This plaque. This simple yet profound monument. It’s a testament to their efforts. It ensures these 42 children are not forgotten. It’s a living legacy. The plaque’s inscription serves as a solemn promise. A pledge to remember and to educate. To never allow such atrocities to happen again.
