A French Freedom Fighter and a concentration camp victim in Centerton, AR. Really? This was an amazing find for me. (Even if it is only a cenotaph.) Not only was it completely unexpected but incredibly sad as well.
Nestled into the back of the Centerton Cemetery in Centerton, AR sits a Cenotaph that brings tears to my eyes. Erected, I can only assume, by her Margot Baird as a loving tribute to her mother.
I can't help but wonder what her story is. Sadly I have been unsuccessful in finding out much so far.

in February 1945 in the concentration
camp, "Ravensbruck." She was gassed,
burnt and buried in a mass grave.
Missed by many.
In spirit let Centerton be your resting
place until we meet again,
Forever love,
