S2E6: Confronting Antisemitism in France: A Conversation with Simone Rodan-Benzaquen

Following my discussion with Mathias Dreyfuss, Deputy Head of DILCRAH (the Interministerial Delegation for the Fight Against Racism, Antisemitism, and Anti-LGBT Hate), who provided the official French government perspective on the rise of antisemitism in France, I returned to Paris for a more in-depth conversation. I sat down with Simone Rodan-Benzaquen, Managing Director of the American Jewish Committee in Europe, to delve deeper into the current state of antisemitism in France. Our discussion focused on its manifestations and the urgent need for more effective tools and strategies to combat this growing threat.
