2 on trial for stabbing of elderly French Holocaust survivor

Two men went on trial in Paris on Tuesday accused of killing an 85-year-old French Holocaust survivor, who was stabbed to death in her Paris apartment in what prosecutors call an antisemitic attack.
Mireille Knoll's brutal death in 2018 shocked France and served as a reminder of both historic antisemitism and its resurgence in recent years.
The two chief suspects accuse each other of the killing, and their lawyers deny any antisemitic reasons, according to French press reports. They are charged with killing a vulnerable person based on religious motives, as well as aggravated theft.
