Nearly 24 anti-Semitic incidents a day: the frightening reality of German Jews | Dr. Shmuel Rosenman

Dr. Shmuel Rosenman writes about 8,725 anti-Semitic incidents documented in Germany in 2025, nearly 24 per day, on the occasion of a gathering of police chiefs in Berlin to mark Kristallnacht.

Dr. Shmuel Rosenman writes in Maariv about the reality of anti-Semitism in Germany, on the occasion of a gathering of police chiefs from Germany and other countries at a synagogue in Berlin to mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht. The RIAS organization documented 8,725 anti-Semitic incidents in Germany in 2025 – nearly 24 per day. The author argues that these numbers create a reality where Jews must consider whether it is safe to display their identity, and that protection of Jewish institutions cannot be limited to guards at the entrance. The commanders participate in the program "Not in Our Watch" which connects Holocaust education with the role of democratic policing. The author emphasizes that "Never Again" means teaching history without evasion and ensuring that Jews can live in security.
