A diploma of the inscription of the City of Paris in the Golden Book of the Jewish National Fund was presented today to Mayor Julien Tardieu.
Accepting the diploma in a brief but impressive ceremony in the centuries-old City Hall of Paris, the Mayor said “the links between our two countries are based not only on reason but also on sentiment.” He paid tribute to Israel and its contribution to world history and added that Paris “would not be what it is today without the contribution of its Jews and world Jewry in general.”
