Anti-Semitic Killings in 2018 Highest in Decades; Pittsburgh Synagogue Murder of 11 Jews Tops List

An Israeli government report released today (January 27, 2019) shows that the number of Jews murdered in anti-Semitic attacks around the world in 2018 reached its highest level in decades, according to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website.

A total of 13 Jews were killed in three separate attacks over the year, according to the 2018 Global Anti-Semitism Report.

A gunman shot 11 people dead at a synagogue in the city of Pittsburgh in October, in America's deadliest anti-Semitic attack ever.

In January, a Jewish student was also murdered in California, and in March 85-year-old Holocaust survivor Mirelle Knoll was killed in a brutal attack at her Paris home.
