Like the Rubik’s cube and sea monkeys, Ginger commanded the nation’s short but intense attention span in the way only a fad could. Ginger was said to have the potential to transform the world.

That sentiment has helped transform France's Jewish community into what Barouhiel calls a "much more active and militant, much more politically organized force." The shift has been evident both in the hallways of power and on the streets. Last week Kahn attended the U.N.'s racism conference as an official member of the French...
