Mireille Knoll and her mother narrowly escaped being sent to Auschwitz when she was a child with their Brazilian passports. She escaped anti-semitism in 1942 Paris, only to return within its grasp and claws of murder in her apartment at eighty-five years old. She is one of the numerous anti-Semitic crimes which have shaken Paris, such as the 2015 attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris by Amedy Coulibaly, a heavily armed Frenchman, who killed four people, as well as the 2012 assault on a Jewish school in Toulouse by Mohammed Merah, who killed three children and a teacher after killing three soldiers.
Anti-semitism isn’t new nor is it uncommon. We see it in literature reflecting the time period that it was written in and it is evident in the shaping of many historical occurrences. Jewish people have been treated as an unwanted minority throughout history and their removal, or want for it, for as long as they’ve existed with other cultures, like all other minorities have suffered through things like discrimination and/or genocide, such as the case of World War II, in which Adolf Hitler wanted to elongate anyone outside of the Aryan description. These are crimes of hate and should always be addressed as such in order to hopefully prevent future incidents.
