- Story Text: Leah Rabin, the widow of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, looked at a stone plaque and a model of a square that will be named "Tolerance Square" in memory of her late husband outside the UNESCO headquarters in south-west Paris on Wednesday (December 20).
Leah Rabin, on a visit to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), was shown a plaque outside the headquarters with architect Dany Karavan and UNESCO Secretary General Federico Mayor.
Later in the day Leah was greeted by President Jacques Chirac for talks at the Elysee Palace.
On Tuesday night Leah was in Paris at the Louvre Carrousel for a tribute to her late husband sponsored by President Chirac. The tribute included Franz Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, a reference to her husband's interrupted quest for peace in the Middle East.
