On 7th January 2004, a woman teacher at the Maimonide School in Paris was attacked. The attack started out as a mugging, but when her attackers noticed the Franc-macon (the French Freemasons) symbol she was wearing around her neck, they set fire to her hair. Although the woman teaches at a Jewish school, she is not Jewish. The attackers apparently thought that the symbol she was wearing was a Star of David, and that is why they attacked her. A complaint was made to the police.
