Paris, France - Pere Lachaise Cemetery, People Visiting Monument to Jews Deported to "Concentration Camps" in WWII, persecution of jews in europe,


"Pere Lachaise" Cemetery, People Visiting Monument to Jews Deported to "Concentration Camps" in WWII "One doesn't usually associate a cemetery with a romantic stroll-- but a visit to Pere-Lachaise begs exactly that. Tucked away in a corner of northeastern Paris, the cemetery is affectionately called la cite des morts-- the city of the dead-- by Parisians. With its rolling hills, thousands of trees, winding paths with carefully plotted "street" names, and elaborate sepulchers and tombs, it's easy to see why Pere-Lachaise is considered Paris' most hauntingly beautiful place of rest. And countless great figures have their resting place here, including Chopin, Proust, Colette, or Jim Morrison. A true Paris must-see." (Courtney Traube, )
