Murder of French Holocaust survivor probed as anti-Semitic
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench authorities say the killing of an elderly Jewish woman in Paris is being investigated as an anti-Semitic murder.
The Paris prosecutor’s office says two suspects have been put in custody. It said it is asking investigating judges to charge the pair with premeditated murder of a vulnerable person for anti-Semitic motives.
The office also asked for the suspects to be jailed pending trial.
Leading Jewish group CRIF said the 85-year-old woman was slain last week in Paris’ eastern 11th district. The victim had reportedly escaped a round-up of Jews in Paris during World War II.
