Abstract:
- A memorial publication to the Jewish children deported from France (many of whom were not French nationals, but earlier arrivals and refugees from other countries in Europe). The book includes alphabetical lists of children by convoy, indicating surname, forename, birthdate, birthplace, assembly center, convoy number, deportation date, and last address in France, followed by a photographic section featuring portraits and other biographical information on many of the children. There are two indexes, a general name index to the deportation lists (p. 1505-1540) and an name index to the photograph section (p. 1541-1548).
- Like the English translation of this work, French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial (New York : New York University Press, 1996), this is a useful resource for "Bar Mitvah or Bat Mitzvah Pairing/Twinning" (an increasingly popular form of Holocaust Remembrance whereby children are linked during this ceremony marking the attainment of adulthood to a child who perished during the Holocaust).
