Here's a little photo group to show you how some of my thinking about what i'm doing is going. These are things that have struck me that i've then tried to bring into the line of what i'm doing, involving clothing and memorials.

You see these plaques all over the Marais, memorializing the deported Jewish children from the second world war.

A google translation: "To the memory of the pupils of this school deported in 1942 to 1944 because they had been born Jewish, innocent victims of Nazi barbarism with the active complicity of the Vichy government. They were exterminated in the death camps." "Never forget."
(very appropriate for Remembrance Day)
