Union des étudiants juifs de France
The Union des étudiants juifs de France ("Union of French Jewish students", UEJF) is a French organization that aims to assist French
Jewish
students.
History
UEJF was founded in 1944 to assist young Jews who came back from
Holocaust. As of July 2011, the union had 15,000 members across France.[1]
In March 2018, a UEJF office at
Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne was vandalized with antisemitic graffiti.[2] In April 2019, the organization's office at Paris Dauphine University was vandalized by individuals unaffiliated with the university, who allegedly entered the premises and urinated on equipment, with the incident recorded and shared on Snapchat, according to UEJF.[3]
Activities
UEJF is well known in part for its participation in litigation about issues involving antisemitism, as in the case of LICRA v. Yahoo!.[4]
