Anti -Semitic attack: Siblings attack Café Bajszel in Neukölln!

On the evening of June 14, 2025, the Café Bajszel in Berlin-Neukölln had a presumably anti-Semitic attack. A 14-year-old threw a paving stone into the outdoor area of ​​the restaurant, while his 18-year-old sister mobbed guests. Fortunately, there was no injuries in the incident, but the event again attracted attention to the increasing anti-Semitic attacks in the region, such as rbb24.

The attack took place on Friday evening. According to the police, the siblings had previously acted as an assault provocation. In addition to the stone throw, which was the outside area of ​​the café, the 18-year-old insulted the operator with anti-Semitic statements. Her reasoning that they were not directed against the operator, but fell in a private phone call, sounds little conclusive. The police found the personal details of the two perpetrators, while the police state security of the state criminal office took over the investigation, as well as the Tagesspiegel reported.

a recurring problem

The Café Bajszel, which is located on Emser Strasse, has repeatedly targeted attacks. Especially in autumn 2022 there was an accumulation of attacks, including throwing stones and smearing the facade. In addition, a trash was set on fire in front of the building. The operator of the café makes it clear that, despite the attacks, they do not want to be intimidated and will continue to actively speak out against anti -Semitism, as was determined in October 2022.

The current situation is underpinned by the terrifying statistics on anti -Semitic crimes in Berlin. According to police crime statistics, the cases in 2024 doubled to 1,823 compared to the previous year. This is part of a larger trend, since the number of politically motivated violent crimes has increased significantly overall.

federal government shows a need for action

The situation is not only a problem locally. A report by the Federal Government, which was presented to the Bundestag, indicates that the threat to Jews in Germany rose significantly in October 2023 due to Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel. The figures of anti -Semitic crimes have increased dramatically, and the federal government has identified the protection of Jewish life and combating anti -Semitism as primary goals. These topics are part of a comprehensive report that includes measures to combat anti-Semitism and the perspective of affected by Jews living in Germany, as bundesag.de. In view of these developments, it becomes clear that increased prevention work and continuous review of the measures are required. It is also important to intensify the memory work on the Shoah and the clarification of anti -Semitism in schools and institutions. The exchange at European level should also be expanded to make an effective contribution to the prevention and combat of anti -Semitism.
