(Jewish Group) Thousands march against anti-Semitism in Paris after murder of Jewish grandmother
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)Marches took place in Paris and other cities across France on Wednesday against anti-Semitism after the recent murders of two elderly Jewish women in their homes in the French capital.
Several thousand people took part in a silent march in Paris on Wednesday in memory of an 85-year-old Jewish woman, killed in a grisly attack believed to be anti-Semitic.
The leaders of several political parties joined the march for Mireille Knoll, whose partly burned body was found in her Paris home at the weekend.
Knoll, who escaped the mass deportation of Jews from France during World War II by fleeing abroad, was stabbed 11 times in an assault that the perpetrators apparently tried to conceal by setting fire to her apartment.
She was found dead by firefighters.
