The Jardin Ilan Halimi is a small, quiet patch of green wedged between residential buildings, marked by a plaque bearing the name of a young man. In two thousand six, Ilan Halimi was kidnapped and held captive for three weeks in a nearby apartment building. The ordeal ended in his death, which sparked a national reckoning regarding antisemitism in France. This garden exists to keep his memory present in the neighborhood where he lived and worked before that winter.
