Anti -Semitic incidents in Berlin: Jewish community in need!

In Berlin, the situation for the Jewish community becomes increasingly alarming. The anti -Semitic attacks have reached a terrifying level. Statistics show a dramatic increase: in 2023 there were 1270 documented anti -Semitic incidents, an increase of almost 50 percent compared to the previous year. These figures exploded on October 7, 2023, especially after the Hamas attack on the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, when an average of ten incidents per day were registered, such as the Berliner Zeitung reported.

One of the most shocking incidents is an attack on a young man from the Orthodox Jewish community of Kahal Adass Jisroel, who was physically attacked in the health fountain and insulted anti -Semitic. He suffered broken bones and severe mental damage. This type of violence is not an isolated case; The attempted arson attack on the synagogue last year also shows the growing threat. Anna Chernyak Segal, managing director of the community, makes it clear that many members withdraw in view of increasing aggression to ensure their security. For example, a public event was relocated to private individuals, and it is advised not to dress strikingly Jewish, especially during Pro-Palestinian demonstrations, which often take place on the Shabbat, reported DW .

The reports on everyday insults in public transport and on the street have become normal in the Jewish community. Complaints about incidents in which Jews are publicly attacked or insulted are increasing. This correlates with an increasing visibility of anti -Semitism in society. Some members of the community prefer to hide their origin in order to avoid further hostility. The existing violence and hatred of Jewish culture raise fundamental questions about security and peaceful coexistence in Berlin.
