(Worthy News) – French President Emmanuel Macron and other officials have forcefully condemned Tuesday’s antisemitic graffiti attack on Paris’ Wall of the Righteous Holocaust Memorial, AFP reports.
France’s Wall of the Righteous Memorial is located at Paris’ Shoah Memorial and commemorates 3,900 people who risked their lives to help save Jews from the Nazi occupation of France in World War 2.
Timed to coincide with the anniversary of the first arrests of Paris’ Jews by the Nazis on May 14, 1941, the perpetrator/s of Tuesday’s attack covered the Wall of the Righteous Memorial with graffiti depicting blood-colored hands, AFP reports. A criminal investigation is underway.
“Degrading the Wall of the Righteous Among the Nations, the barrier of Enlightenment against Nazism, is to undermine the memory of these heroes as well as that of the victims of the Shoah,” Macron said in a post on X. “The Republic, as always, will remain inflexible in the face of odious anti-Semitism,” Macron wrote.
In a separate statement, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said: “The Wall of the Righteous at the Shoah [Holocaust] Memorial was vandalized overnight in an unspeakable act.”
With the third largest Jewish population outside of Israel and the United States, France has experienced what the French Ministry of Interior described as a “marked acceleration” in crimes “committed because of the ethnicity, nationality, supposed race or religion” since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by the Hamas Palestinian jihadist terror group.
