Sarah Milgrim, killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum Wednesday with her boyfriend, Yaron Lischinsky, was very involved in Jewish life.

Lischinsky, a 30-year-old Israeli citizen, had deep ties to his country’s Messianic Jewish community.

Milgrim, then a 17-year-old senior, voiced her concerns about the sickening messages and symbols — which included a swastika — that were painted on a storage shed on the campus of Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, Kan., in February 2017.

Both victims were embassy employees, who were about to get engaged; couple worked and advocated for Israeli-Arab coexistence

The victim's father revealed how he found out his daughter and her boyfriend had been killed outside of the Capital Jewish Museum.

She made me want to be more Jewish,” said Amanda Birger, a former University of Kansas classmate who met Milgrim at KU Hillel, a Jewish organization at the college.

American University Professor Jesse Ribot remembers his former student, Sarah Milgrim, who was shot and killed along with her boyfriend outside the Capital Jewish Museum. News4’s Jessica Albert reports.

Last night, my friend and fellow climate activist Sarah Milgrim and her soon-to-be fiancé, Yaron Lischinsky, were murdered in cold blood by a terrorist who shouted “Free Palestine” after taking their lives. It was a horrifying, antisemitic assassination that has left those who knew and loved them reeling.

The two people shot and killed outside a Jewish museum in Washington were young staffers at the Israeli Embassy who were soon to be engaged.

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim hailed from different parts of the world, but their paths led them both to pursue careers in diplomacy and to the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC – where they found each other and fell in love.
