In the night of Friday 3 to Saturday 4 April, a Jewish family fell victim to an antisemitic attack in an apartment building in the Paris suburbs. Their neighbour repeatedly struck their door with a hammer and directed antisemitic abuse at them. “At 3:30 in the morning, someone started hammering hard on our door. It woke everyone up. The first time, he banged. The second time, he banged again. The third time, that’s when he started insulting us. He called us ‘dirty Jews’, ‘We’re going to recreate 7 October, we’re going to burn you and your family, we’re going to exterminate you’,” the man told CNEWS.
“My wife was collapsing on the floor”
Other damage was also found outside the family’s home, including the theft of a stroller. He and his family are now staying with friends.
“My wife was collapsing on the floor, almost fainting. We thought the door was going to come down. We have no choice, we are forced to move, out of fear of reprisals. My wife absolutely does not want to return to the apartment,” he said.
