Anti -Semitism in Brandenburg: 28% increase in incidents in 2024!

anti -Semitism has increased significantly in Brandenburg in recent years. In 2023, a total of 484 anti -Semitic incidents were documented, which corresponds to an increase of more than 28 percent compared to the previous year. This emerges from the monitoring report of the Anti -Semitism department for 2024, which was published on July 2, 2025. It is particularly alarming that anti -Semitism is increasingly visible, for example on streets, in memorials and educational institutions as well as in the living environment. The report not only captures politically motivated crime, but also incidents that are below criminal relevance. This comprehensive data collection is supplemented by civil society research, information from those affected and information from schools, memorial sites and universities. The Anti -Semitism Brandenburg department was founded in 2019 to offer the victims of anti -Semitism targeted support.

The Brandenburg anti -Semitism representative Andreas Büttner speaks of anti -Semitism as an “attack on humanity”. He not only calls for more information, but also consequences at the political level. In the past, various measures were taken to counter anti -Semitic incidents. Brandenburg has developed an action concept against anti -Semitism and appointed an anti -Semitism representative. As part of this initiative, the strengthening of those affected and the creation of an open society is of central importance.

statistical evaluation

The Anti -Semitism department found in its report that the number of documented incidents increase from 377 in 2023 to 484 in 2024, which corresponds to an increase in 173 incidents. A questionable trend was also found last year: three cases of extreme violence were registered, while there were no corresponding incidents in the previous year. The different forms of anti-Semitism have different forms, with 39.2 percent as post-shoah anti-Semitism, 34.8 percent being classified as modern anti-Semitism and 11.0 percent as Israel-related anti-Semitism.

collaboration and support

The cooperation between different institutions is crucial to give those affected a voice and to sensitize society to the problem. State Secretary Dr. At a press conference, Friederike Haase emphasized the need for close cooperation and a clear commitment to Jewish life in Brandenburg. The Anti -Semitism department offers comprehensive support for those affected, evaluates anti -Semitic incidents and is closely networked with cooperation partners such as the victim perspective. It is clear that there is still a lot to do in Brandenburg to decide anti -Semitism and to promote an inclusive society.

The Anti-Semitism (RIAS) research and information center has even registered anti-Semitic incidents in 2024, which is the highest number since the start of recording. The number has almost doubled compared to the previous year. These developments are alarming and make it clear that extensive efforts are still necessary to effectively combat anti -Semitism and to keep society sensitized.
