Aren’t these “children” about 70-80 years old now? Based on France’s social system, the government has already adopted them.
I don’t know if he’s talking about all the children of the Holocaust or just the ones that were killed.
No, they aren’t 70 or 80 years old, they are DEAD, murdered by the Nazis after being sent to concentration camps by their French compatriots.
No, the 11,000 children are those who were deported by the collaborators and subsequently murdered by the Nazis. They're all dead.
The French government has put up signs at schools throughout Paris listing the number of children at each school who were murdered. In a few schools in historically Jewish neighborhoods, hundreds of students were killed. It's chilling to read those signs and see children playing today in the playgrounds.
