“A la mémoire de Lucien Mariapolski…” The inscription on this plaque, etched in the cold stone, tells a silent, tragic story. We are standing before the Plaque commémorative Lucien Mariapolski, a stark reminder of the horrors inflicted during World War II. It’s a small memorial, easily missed amidst the bustling streets of Paris. The plaque is dedicated to Lucien Mariapolski, a former resident of 10 Rue Laplace, the very spot where we now stand. Life for Lucien was tragically cut short. He was arrested in Nice during the infamous roundups of 1943, his only crime being Jewish. From there, Lucien was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was murdered by the Nazis. This small plaque serves as a powerful symbol, a testament to the importance of remembrance. It urges us to never forget the victims like Lucien and to fight against intolerance and hatred in all its forms.
