Death of Georges Loinger at 108 years old.

There are people who pass through a life and who mark you forever. Georges Loinger was one of them. He did not do this for glory, and his eternal struggle was to live it together and here he leaves us a less generous world. The FJN has just learned with pain and pain, the death of Georges Loinger, honorary member of our association. Georges Loinger loved Israel and the Jewish people. His memory will always honor the State of Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people. He is a pragmatic man who has just died. He was committed to community rights and justice.
Jewish resistance fighter Georges Loinger, you saved hundreds of Jewish children during the Occupation in France. He died on Friday, December 28 at the age of 108, announced the Foundation for the Memory of the Holocaust this Saturday, December 29.
You have contributed immensely to the fight against racism and xenophobia in the Jewish community. Georges Loinger, you were a legend, and legends live forever.
The Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France (Crif) paid tribute to “this fighter who is an example for the Jewish people and for France”. Its president Francis Kalifat greeted in a tweet this “fighter of the memory, fierce defender of the Jewish people and the State of Israel”. In 2013, he was received at the age of 102 by Israeli President Shimon Peres.
The FJN extends its deepest condolences to his family.
