Mireille Knoll

A garden in Nogent-sur-Marne dedicated to Sarah Halimi and Mireille Knoll was defaced with a swastika.
The killing of the 85-year old, who was stabbed 11 times, was fueled by “a broader context of anti-Semitism,” a French court ruled.
One of them was 27 at the time of the attack; the other was 21.
The rally, from the Place de la Nation to the victim’s home in the 11th arrondissement (district) of Paris, was marred by the presence of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen, leaders of the extreme left and extreme right.
The umbrella representative body of French Jewish organizations has called for a March 28 rally in Paris in memory of Mireille Knoll, an 85-year-old Jewish woman brutally killed in her apartment.
