At a high school in Nantes, France, a 16-year-old boy stabbed four students, killing one after stabbing her 57 times. The teenager was known to be withdrawn, depressed, and deeply fascinated by Nazi ideology. Just weeks earlier, he had been summoned by the school administration for drawing images glorifying the Third Reich. He had a well-known “fascination with Hitler.” An obsession with Hitler is never just a phase, it always ends in violence and tragedy. It’s time the world took antisemitism seriously. How many more lives must be lost before we recognize it for the deadly threat it truly is?
