It was a promise made by the Mayor of Paris in 2018. This Tuesday, Anne Hidalgo inaugurated an alley Mireille Knoll, located on the central median of the boulevard de Ménilmontant in the 11th arrondissement, in homage to this woman of Jewish faith tortured and murdered at her home on March 23, 2018.
On March 23, 2018, Mireille Knoll, a Holocaust survivor, was murdered because she was Jewish.
Today, in the heart of the 11th arrondissement where she lived, Paris salutes her memory by dedicating an alley to her.
To never forget and to continue to fight, united, against anti-Semitic hatred.
