Antisemitism in the French Third Republic was notably witnessed in the 20th century in the European regimes at the time. Léon Blum of the Popular Front, a former Prime Minister, suffered the most notable antisemitic attack in France on 13 February 1936. Shortly before becoming Prime Minister, Blum was dragged from a car and almost beaten to death by the Camelots du Roi, a group of antisemites and royalists. The group's parent organisation, the right-wing Action Française, was dissolved by the government following this incident, not long before the elections that brought Blum to power.[1] Blum became the first socialist and the first Jew to serve as Prime Minister of France. As such he was an object of particular hatred from antisemitic elements.[2]
