(IsraelNN.com) Three girls beat and threatened to kill a Jewish woman last week, according to the French National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, quoted by the European Jewish Press (EJP). Chrystel Friedman, 34, noticed the girls drinking and smoking in the entrance where she lives and asked them to leave.

The girls began to beat her violently and three men of North African origin appeared, one of them threatening to kill her. Chrystel told EJP that "this is clearly anti-Semitic as the aggressors knew that I am Jewish. I am generally wearing a [Star of] David necklace. Ninety percent of my family died in deportation by the Nazis and I don’t want to hide my Jewishness."

The same woman was attacked in the subway two years ago.
