In France, an estimated 20,000 protesters took to the streets of Paris Tuesday night to denounce a surge in anti-Semitic attacks across the country. The protest came hours after French President Emmanuel Macron visited a Jewish cemetery in Alsace that was desecrated overnight Monday. Around 80 tombstones were found with swastikas painted on them. This is a protester speaking at last night’s mass demonstration.

Valérie: “I think that anti-Semitic actions are on the rise. It’s something that strikes fear, that brings back bad memories. We want to show younger generations that there’s another path to take other than this one.”

The Interior Ministry said there was a 74 percent increase in anti-Semitic attacks last year. France is home to the largest Jewish population in Europe.
