Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the globe in countless ways. Economies have suffered, millions of lives have been lost, and issues that were present before March 2020 got worse. Anti-Semitic actions against the French-Jew population had been on a steady rise pre-Covid, but how would a global pandemic affect that rise. The French government had taken some action to try and calm the threats, but the people see these efforts as inadequate. Already having done the research looking at the statistics and stories of these hateful acts before Covid-19 we want to discover if a global pandemic created a positive or negative impact on the rise in Anti-Semitic acts. If the pandemic pushed people to work together or if it made matters worse and gave Anti-Semitic groups a paved road to continue their harassing. The pandemic has put pressures on the government that may have altered the stress to bring the Jewish population safety in terms of Anti-Semitic acts.
