French President Emmanuel Macron will mark 80 years since Nazi forces raided a Jewish orphanage in southeastern France, sending most occupants to extermination camps. 44 Jewish children and 7 instructors were rounded up in the 1944 raid.
Until the raid by the Gestapo in 1944, the Izieu orphanage was described as a serene place where children lived among friends, attending classes and maintaining a sense of normalcy despite escalating danger.
