ANTI-SEMITISM IN EAST GERMANY

Current Anti-Semitism in East Germany - Thomas Haury (JCPA)
An extensive and deeply rooted right-wing subculture exists in East Germany. Its five new federal states comprise almost 20% of the German population and almost 50% of the potentially violent right-wing extremists. There is considerable anti-Semitic graffiti and destruction, directed against concentration camp memorials, commemorative plaques, or other tokens of Jewish victims of National Socialism, as well as against Jewish institutions and cemeteries. In all of Germany and not only on the extreme right, anti-Semitism is expressed increasingly openly and aggressively.
