Royal bestows Order of Legion of Honor

“Each hit suffered by a Jew is a hit suffered by the French people. France boasts the first Jewish community in Europe. This is a point of pride. […] It is our duty to protect the place of the [Jewish] community in our country,” says Segolene Royal.

“In the name of the president of the republic, I grant you, Philippe Braham, Francois-Michel Saada, Yohan Cohen, Yoav Hattab, the Order of the Legion of Honor.”
