A French man has been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor to death in an antisemitic attack, a case that triggered widespread outrage and called attention to resurgent anti-Jewish sentiment in France.

After horror and grief, Mireille Knoll’s family feels justice after Wednesday’s verdict.

…. Yacine Mihoub, a neighbour who grew up in the Paris public housing project where Knoll had lived most of her life, was convicted of killing a vulnerable person based on religious motives, according to Knoll’s family.
