A terrible drama that will never be forgotten. Ten years after the Islamist attack on the Ozar Hatorah Israelite school in Toulouse, perpetrated by Mohamed Merah, a former student is publishing a shocking book to commemorate the horror, reports France 3 Occitanie. The book, titled: ” March 19, 2012: the attack on the Ozar Hatorah school by those who witnessed it”, delves into the tragic events that left the City of Roses in mourning. On that day, the Islamist terrorist Mohamed Merah attacked a teacher and three children at the Jewish confessional school in Toulouse, killing them with shouts of “Allahu akbar”.
The author, Jonathan Chetrit, was a boarding student at this institution at the time. The intention of this book: to overcome the horror by remembering this tragic episode in contemporary history. Page by page, the author recounts the terrible events, the murders, the chaos that raged in the school, the arrival of the forces of order, and then the grief, the sadness. And finally, years later, the trial of Abdelkader Merah, the brother of the Islamist terrorist. And above all, subliminally, the guilt of being a survivor. In conclusion, the author poses an essential question: that of Islamism, the question of the “beginnings of a growing threat to the whole country”. A growing threat that, in his opinion, neither the media nor the politicians could or would have foreseen and tackled.
