   By a miracle and our press passes we were able to attend a ceremony, with a prayer team from the US, remembering the deportation of French Jews during the Holocaust at the Museum of the Shoah in Paris. The Museum has a Wall of names of the deportees. On that wall David found the name of a relative from his father's family (Chapsa Schneier) who was born in Ukraine only to be deported from France. David also found a couple named Prince which is his French mother's family name.

   Following the ceremony and after a solemn march through the streets of Paris, we then attended a closed memorial service at the official site of remembrance  of the all of the 110,000 deportees, including 77,000 Jews of which 11,000 were children. Above are some of the photos of both of those events. More pictures appear at https://picasaweb.google.com/messianic.initiative/May112012.
