In February in Bobigny #Paris Jeremy Cohen a 31-year-old Jewish man was molested by 15 people for wearing a kippah. Attempting to flee, he was hit to death by a tram.

Like #SarahHalimi affair there has been no police & media attention as to not shadow the presidential elections.

On Tuesday I had the pleasure of meeting with @nadhimzahawi MP in his capacity of Secretary of State for Education at the @educationgovuk.

Here are a few quotes from my undergraduate course material at a UK university:

She was found with 11 stab wounds in her back, throat, and stomach, her body partially burned and her apartment in flames.

THREAD
In July 1942 she narrowly escaped the Vel’ d’Hiv’ Roundup which was ordered by Nazi occupiers and resulted in the mass arrest of 13,000 French Jews by the French police. Those detained were held at the Vel’ d’Hiv cycling track and deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp
in Poland, where the majority perished. She managed to flee with her mother & cross the border into Portugal on a Brazilian passport obtained by her father. After the war she married an Auschwitz survivor & moved to Canada before returning to Paris. They raised two sons and she
