CHARLIE HEBDO

            Georges Wolinski was a French cartoonist and comic writer who is best known for working for French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

            Wolinski was born in Tunis, France. His father was from Poland, was murdered in 1936 when Wolinski was aged 2. He moved to France in 1945 after World War II and studied architecture in Paris and started cartooning. He started drawing political cartoons in 1960, as well as erotic cartoons and satire comic strips. His work appeared in the newspaper Liberation as well as others, including Charlie Hebdo. Wolinski’s wife, Jacqueline Saba passed away in a car accident in 1966. He remarried in 1972.

            Wolinski was murdered on 7 January 2015 by Islamic terrorists. He was murdered alongside seven of his co-workers, after the perpetrators stormed the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris at 11:30am. The terrorists killed 12 innocent people and injured 11 others; the terrorists were from al-Qaeda who took responsibility for the senseless violence. The perpetrators fled the scene but were found a few days later.   

The terrorists targeted Charlie Hebdo due to satire towards religious leaders, including the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

            Charlie Hebdo continued with its publications and gained millions of readers after the attack.
