The Cause with the Jews

The Cause with the Jews

In recent years, resentments and hatred towards Jews have become increasingly aggressive, louder and more brutal. What is at the roots of this development? Statistics show an extreme rise in anti-Semitic incidents in Germany but also worldwide. Berlin, for example, has become the city with the highest number of such attacks in Europe. Whether it’s from the left or the right, among Muslims or simply in normal everyday life - Jews and Jewish institutions are increasingly being threatened and violently assaulted in this country. In this series by Richard C. Schneider, experts and scientists, as well as those affected, attempt to explain the intentional or unintentional mechanisms of anti-Jewish hostility on the basis of historical, social and ideological developments.

Everyday anti-Semitism

"Cryptic" forms of anti-Jewish sentiments seem to manifest themselves in everyday life: whether it’s the yellow star badge with the word “unvaccinated” on it among the so-called "Querdenker" scene, whether it’s within cultural life or on social media - Jews are often spoken about in "codes" that are nevertheless clear and distinct. Moreover, anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish people and institutions have become an almost daily event by now.
