Board of Deputies representatives have visited French counterparts to demonstrate solidarity following last month’s terrorist attack in Paris in which four Jews were killed.

During the meeting with Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France (Crif) on Wednesday, the organisations pledged to work together to tackle online hate crimes and interfaith relations.

The visit came after hundreds of Jewish graves were desecrated in Alsace this week.

Board president Vivian Wineman said he wanted to work out how the two groups could help each other fight antisemitism.
