Young Jewish woman, 23, attacked in Paris by hooded men

By Haaretz Staff

A 23-year-old Jewish woman was attacked Thursday in Noisy-le-Grand, near Paris, by two youths who beat her and shouted anti-Semitic slogans, said the French National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism.

"I thought I was going to die because nobody came to help me," said the woman, only identified as Rebecca, according to the European Jewish Press.

The EJP reported yesterday that she was attacked in front of her house by two youths of "African origin" whose heads were covered by hoods and their faces hidden by scarfs. One of the two was later arrested by police and put in custody.

They shouted "You dirty Jew" at the woman before stealing the mobile phone she was using and beating her violently about the head and body, the EJP reported. She suffered several bruises.

According to Rebecca, the two aggressors recognized her Jewish origin when they saw a Star of David around her neck. Her father ran after them, but they escaped.

At first she didn't mention the anti-Semitic character of the attack to police out of fear for reprisals, but she did so later after speaking to the National Bureau of Vigilance against anti-Semitism.

"She was afraid and very disturbed," Sammy Ghozan, head of the Bureau, told the EJP.
