Square des Martyrs Juifs du Velodrome d'Hiver

The Square des Martyrs Juifs du Vélodrome d'Hiver is marked by a bronze sculptural group depicting seven figures, including children, a pregnant woman, and an ailing man. These figures rest upon a curved concrete base that mimics the shape of a cycle track. The site honors the more than thirteen thousand Jews, including over four thousand children, who were rounded up by French police on July sixteenth and seventeenth, nineteen forty-two.
