Plaque commemorating children Holocaust victims vandalised

The town council of Maisons-Alfort, a suburb of Paris, south-east of the capital, has filed a formal police complaint after a plaque commemorating Jewish children deported in the Holocaust was ripped from the wall of one of its schools.  The plaque was found on the floor of the school.

“We don’t know if it was an act of vandalism of an antisemitic nature or whether the plaque fell on its own, but looking at the current context, it seemed important for me to notify the police,” the town’s mayor, Olivier Capitanio, said.
