A tag representing a star, similar to the yellow star imposed by Nazi Germany on Jews during World War II, was discovered on Saturday on the door of a private Catholic school in Montpellier (Hérault).

The inscription in white paint was erased the same day by the city services.

We will never allow anti-Semitic hatred to be displayed on the walls of our City!

This cowardly and heinous act must not go unpunished and I ask @ PoliceNat34 to do everything possible to find the perpetrators of this despicable act!

The anti-Semitic registration was immediately denounced by many local elected officials.

“We will never allow anti-Semitic hatred to be displayed on the walls of our city.

This cowardly and odious act must not go unpunished, "scolds Michaël Delafosse (PS), who also asked the police to" find the perpetrators of this despicable act ".

Jewish children were hidden in the building

“Condemnation and indignation, reacted Carole Delga (PS), the president of the Occitanie region.

We will always be together in the fight against anti-Semitism and racism.

“For his part, the senator from Hérault, Hussein Bourgi (PS), expressed his“ consternation ”and“ anger ”and condemns this act with“ the greatest firmness ”.

Philippe Meyer, president of the B'nai B'rith France association, said on Twitter that “Jewish children were hidden in this house in Montpellier during the Occupation.

This new anti-Semitic act is even more despicable.

The soiled memory.
