Four Jews, two of them over sixty years old, were among the ten hostages executed today by a Nazi firing squad in Paris in retaliation for alleged attacks on members of the German army of occupation last week.
The names of the four, as they appear on the list issued by the German authorities, are: Isidor Bernheim, 72; Lucien Blum, 62; David Lieberman, 19; and Henri Beckerman, 21.
