The Memorial to the Victims of the Deportation, erected in 1962, serves as a sober reminder of the 200,000 French citizens - including 76,000 Jews, 11,000 of whom were children - that were cruelly torn away from their homes and transported to Nazi concentration camps, never to return. It is a solemn site characterized by a barred window overlooking the Seine, a bleak, rough-concrete courtyard, and the Tomb of the Unknown Deportee.
