Square Jacques-Grynberg

Square Jacques Grynberg honors a man deeply dedicated to local remembrance in the twentieth arrondissement. Jacques Grynberg cofounded a committee in nineteen ninety-seven that ensured the memory of Jewish children deported during the war was preserved in the local schools. This organization successfully lobbied the city to install commemorative plaques on school buildings throughout Paris to mark the names of students lost during the occupation. The garden stands as a quiet tribute to his persistent work in making sure these local tragedies remained visible to future generations.
