PARIS (EJP)---A 23-year-old Jewish woman was attacked Thursday afternoon in Noisy-le-Grand, near Paris, by two youths who beat her and shouted anti-Semitic words, the French National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, said.

“I thought I was going to die because nobody came to help me,” the woman, only identified as Rebecca, said.

While phoning in front of her house, she was attacked by two youths of “African origin” whose head was covered by a hooded cape and their face hidden by a scarf.

They shouted “You dirty Jew” at the woman before stealing her mobile phone and beating her violently at the head and the body.

She suffered several bruises in the face and the rest of the body.

According to Rebecca, the two aggressors recognized her Jewish origin when they saw a Star of David pendant on her neck.
