A wave of hate violence hit Paris overnight, leaving three synagogues vandalized with green paint, a restaurant damaged, and the French Holocaust memorial defaced. Authorities confirmed the incidents on Saturday.
The synagogues, located in the heart of the city’s Jewish neighborhood, were targeted with green paint, while a local restaurant was also attacked. The vandalism has left many in the community shaken.
The French Holocaust Memorial, which honors the victims of the Holocaust, was also vandalized overnight. The memorial serves as a poignant reminder of one of the darkest periods in human history.
The motives behind the attacks are still unknown, but experts say that hate crimes are on the rise across Europe, fueled by rising tensions and xenophobia.
