France: Granddaughter of 85 year-old slaughtered, burned to death by Muslim neighbor, “I left Paris knowing that neither my future nor that of the Jewish People is to be found there…” read the rest

“Twenty years ago, I left Paris knowing that neither my future nor that of the Jewish People is to be found there,” wrote Goldfarb, who lives in Herzliya, Israel. “But who would’ve thought that I was leaving my relatives where terrorism and cruelty would lead to such a tragedy. Grandmother was stabbed to death 11 times by a Muslim neighbor she knew well, who made sure to set fire to her home and left us not even one object, a letter, a photograph, to remember her by. All we have are our tears and each other.”

I was one of the first to report on this horror here. A French Jewish reader, our man on the Paris street, tells me life for Jews in France live in abject terror. They are confined to three very specific streets but venture into the no-go zones and you are taking your life into your hands.

For anyone who says there are no no-go zones, try walking down the streets in the suburbs of Paris with a kepah and Star of David and see if you get out alive.

French Jews need emergency asylum. Now.

Two arrested over brutal killing of 85-year-old French Jewish Holocaust survivor

Times of Israel, March 26, 2018:

PARIS, France — Two men have been arrested over the killing of an 85-year-old Jewish woman, a Holocaust survivor, whose stabbed body was found after her Paris apartment was set ablaze, police sources said Monday.

An autopsy conducted on the woman, identified Monday as Mirelle Kanol, who lived alone, showed her charred body also had at least 11 stab wounds.

A forensic examination of the apartment showed that an arsonist started a fire in at least five distinct areas of that space, the report also said….

The Paris prosecutor’s office said Sunday that it had not yet determined a motive, but “is not excluding any hypothesis.”

One suspect was identified as a a 29-year-old man. No details were given on the second suspect.

However, a granddaughter of Kanol, Noa Goldfarb, wrote on Facebook that her grandmother was murdered by a neighbor who is a Muslim.

“Twenty years ago, I left Paris knowing that neither my future nor that of the Jewish People is to be found there,” wrote Goldfarb, who lives in Herzliya, Israel. “But who would’ve thought that I was leaving my relatives where terrorism and cruelty would lead to such a tragedy. Grandmother was stabbed to death 11 times by a Muslim neighbor she knew well, who made sure to set fire to her home and left us not even one object, a letter, a photograph, to remember her by. All we have are our tears and each other.”

A Paris lawmaker who spoke with one of the woman’s sons said she had managed to evade as a child the notorious 1942 roundup of over 13,000 Jews in Paris during World War II….
