Her father survived Auschwitz but then committed suicide when she was 11 “It is the duty of the republic to protect all the Jews of France,” she added Officials said that the Stars of David have yet to be officially tallied as hate crimes The incident follows a similar one last month in Berlin that left many Jews unnerved there France has seen more antisemitic incidents since Hamas’ attacks on Oct 7 than in the entire past year — more than 850 “Jewish community sites will be protected day and night,” Darmanin said at the Levallois-Perret synagogue on Tuesday evening “More than 30 are already in administrative centers awaiting deportation and deportations of foreigners for acts of antisemitism have already begun,” Darmanin said With one of the largest Jewish populations outside of Israel and the United States France is also home to the largest Muslim community in Europe Jacques Isaac Azeroual, a kosher butcher in the city’s 19th district, which has a sizable Jewish community, told AFP that he doesn’t feel secure anymore he is closing his store an hour early and has started covering his kippah outside They are scared of going out to shop,” he said JTA has documented Jewish history in real-time for over a century Keep our journalism strong by joining us in supporting independent I accept the Privacy Policy Apur processes your data to manage sending out the newsletter.

The workshop was hosted by the French Institute of Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) in Fontenay-aux-Roses The workshop marked the conclusion of the activities of the NEA Expert Group on Recovery Management (EGRM). This group was formed by the NEA Committee on Radiological Protection and Public Health (CRPPH) in 2019 to develop an operational framework of preparedness for recovery management which could be easily adapted to different domestic settings The cyclical framework approach suggested by the EGRM in its report Building a Framework for Post-Nuclear Accident Recovery Preparedness was presented during the workshop and underpinned the workshop’s different sessions Some 29 international speakers shared their expertise on the subject during the workshop allowing participants to exchange their knowledge and national experience in post-nuclear accident recovery management arrangements Nuclear Energy Agency Deputy Director-General for Management and Planning addressed the participants to highlight the NEA’s work in the area of post-nuclear accident recovery preparedness “More than 10 years after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident and more than 35 years after the Chernobyl accident many lessons have been learned to improve preparedness for nuclear emergencies While the preparedness for immediate nuclear emergency response is well advanced in most countries and is regularly exercised in accordance with international basic safety standards preparedness for the long-term recovery from such accidents is still to be further developed,” Mr Muroya said “The NEA is committed to assisting our member countries in improving their nuclear emergency response and recovery policy The implications of the different technical and topical strategies introduced in the EGRM report for the upcoming 6th International Nuclear Emergency Exercise (INEX-6) was another key focus of the workshop INEX-6 will be the first large-scale international exercise to focus on long-term recovery after a nuclear or radiological accident Over the course of its mandate, the EGRM has produced several documents and activities in the field of post-nuclear accident preparedness, including the 2020 report Preparedness for Post-Accident Recovery: Lessons from Experience and its associated webinar For more information on the Nuclear Energy Agency’s work on radiological protection visit here. boman architecture studio has designed a house for archers which measures just 527 ft2 (49 m2) in area has been created to make the most of the site and establish a connection with the natural environment that surrounds it all images © antoine séguin in order to develop an architectural language that does not impose itself but rather complements the site of ‘urban nature’, the architects chose to construct the building using only natural materials the structure is built from perforated brick-bearing terracotta which is typically used in the north of france and a gesture of boman’s ecological commitment by sourcing local materials.  thereby creating the appearance of a self-supporting façade the construction thus refrains from using any additional facing materials and optimizes the number of building trades an original system has been put in place to draw attention to the rainwater flow: a rain chain it is composed of a cascading series of aluminium cups which guide the falling water with grace and elegance the brick walls are perforated by three round windows that invite the landscape to seamlessly enter the space an oversized circular window on the main façade takes its cue from the archery targets found opposite offering a generous view onto the shooting range outdoors enliven the four façades by creating geometric breaks that contrast with the porous appearance of the bricks through the desire to create a moving elevation its monumental proportions dictate much of the aesthetic of the exterior architect: boman photography: antoine séguin happening now!

Fresh stars were painted overnight on the facades of several buildings in a southern district of Paris Similar tags appeared over the weekend in suburbs of the city including Vanves In the nearby town of Saint-Ouen they were accompanied by inscriptions such as "Palestine will overcome" The Union of Jewish Students of France said they were designed to mirror the way Jews were forced to wear the stars by the Nazi regime "This act of marking recalls the processes of the 1930s and the Second World War which led to the extermination of millions of Jews," its president Samuel Lejoyeux told AFP "The people who did this clearly wanted to terrify," he added condemned the graffiti as being "in total contradiction with the fundamental values that we hold Saint-Ouen's mayor Karim Bouamrane said

Germany formed from the missile system activities of Aerospatiale Matra BAE Dynamics and Alenia Marconi Systems and jointly owned by EADS Roland 1 entered service with the French Army in 1977 Over 650 systems and over 25,000 missiles have been ordered French Army systems are mounted on vehicles based on the AMX-30 main battle tank Roland was in service with the German army In February 2003 the Bundeswehr announced that the system would be phased out The last Roland weapon system in service with Germany was decommissioned at the end of 2005 German Army systems were installed on Marder tracked vehicles The German Army systems are being replaced with the LFK NG missile system The Roland system is effective against air threats from extremely low to medium altitude It was produced as a standalone weapon system on a single vehicle or as an airliftable shelter Roland Carol entered production in 1995 with 20 systems delivered to the French Army and 11 to the German Air Force A number of French Army Roland systems have been upgraded The modernisation included a new BBKS command and control system and the fitting of the infrared Glaive sight from Safran (formerly SAGEM) for automatic multi-channel target tracking The first prototype fire unit was completed in June 1999 and trials began in September 1999 The upgraded Roland is called Enhanced Roland M3S The second

stand trial there was a lengthy legal tradition of calling animals to the stand From the thirteenth century until the eighteenth there are many recorded cases of animals in the courtroom faced the possibility of criminal charges for several centuries across many parts of Europe The earliest extant record of an animal trial is the execution of a pig in 1266 at Fontenay-aux-Roses Such trials remained part of several legal systems until the 18th century Animal defendants appeared before both church and crown courts and the offenses arrayed against them ranged from murder to criminal damage Human witnesses were often called to the stand and animals were routinely provided with lawyers in religious courts (this was not the case in secular courts human defendants did not enjoy this privilege either) Yet some animals were able to win their freedom through the legal process a female donkey was acquitted of charges of bestiality due to witnesses to the animal’s virtue and good behavior her human co-defendants were sentenced to death Translations of several of the most detailed records can be found in E.P Evans’ The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals Sadakat Kadri’sThe Trial: Four Thousand Years of Courtroom Drama (Random House 2006) contains another detailed examination of the subject Kadri shows that the trials were part of a broader phenomenon that saw corpses and inanimate objects also face prosecution and argues that an echo of such rituals survives in modern attitudes towards the punishment of children and the mentally ill Animals put on trial were almost invariably either domesticated ones (most often pigs and cows) or pests such as rats and weevils Creatures that were suspected of being familiar spirits or complicit in acts of bestiality were also subjected to judicial punishment Tijana Radeska is one of the authors writing for The Vintage News Join 1000s of subscribers and receive the best Vintage News in your mailbox
