Jerusalem ( CNN ) The flame of remembrance burns in Jerusalem , and a song of memory haunts Valerie Braham as it never has before . This year , Israel 's Memorial Day commemoration is for bereaved family members such as Braham . `` Now I truly understand everyone who has lost a loved one , '' Braham said . Her husband , Philippe Braham , was one of 17 people killed in January 's terror attacks in Paris . He was in a kosher supermarket when a gunman stormed in , killing four people , all of them Jewish . The terrorist , Amedy Coulibaly , recorded the attack on camera . Philippe Braham was laid to rest in Jerusalem 's Givat Shaul cemetery after the attacks , not far from where the Jewish Agency held a memorial ceremony to mourn victims of terror . `` Today we all share the same pain , '' Valerie Braham said to the assembled crowd . `` I know they protect us from above . '' As Israel mourns on the nation 's remembrance day , French Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced after his weekly Cabinet meeting that French authorities had foiled a terror plot . Valls said that France is fully mobilized following January 's attack , which allowed authorities to identify and stop the planned attack . The latest news is a painful reminder of Braham 's recent loss . Braham now lives for her young children . She has two daughters and one son . Braham tells them stories of their father to keep his memory alive and to keep herself strong . She pauses as she speaks , finding the right words to describe the love of her life who was taken from her . `` We had 10 years of marriage together , and we were a perfect couple . We had no problems . We did n't fight . It was like the day we were married , '' she said , holding back tears . She has told this story before , but it does n't seem to get any easier . One month after the terror attacks in Paris , a gunman attacked a synagogue in Copenhagen , Denmark , killing Dan Uzan , who was working as a security guard for a bat mitzvah party . Uzan , 37 , was laid to rest in Copenhagen . Like Valerie Braham , Uzan 's parents attended the memorial service in Jerusalem . The recent attacks were on the nation 's collective mind as mourners gathered in groups to commemorate fallen soldiers and victims of terror . The Copenhagen attack forced Braham to relive her fear . `` I have no idea , '' she said , hesitating . `` It seems they found a way to attack outside of war . It seems easy for them to attack , and it 's frightening . '' When asked where she feels at home , Braham does n't hesitate . It is her most confident answer . `` In Israel . Obviously , in Israel . In God 's name , we will move to Israel . '' Braham said she will move her family from Paris to Israel when she is ready , but she does not want to feel like she is running away .
