"Tomorrow we will hang Knobloch": Death threats against 93-year-old Holocaust survivor

Graffiti with death threats was sprayed in Munich against Charlotte Knobloch, a 93-year-old Holocaust survivor and president of the city's Jewish community. The police have launched an investigation, and European Jewish leaders are warning of rising antisemitism.

Graffiti with death threats was sprayed on a bench and trash can in Munich's English Garden park against Charlotte Knobloch, a 93-year-old Holocaust survivor and president of the city's Jewish community. The inscription, written in white ink next to a Star of David, links the rise of the far-right in Germany to the attack on her: "The AfD won, tomorrow we will hang Knobloch." The police have opened an investigation. Rabbi Goldschmidt of the Conference of European Rabbis condemned the threats and called for a zero-tolerance policy toward antisemitism. The incident illustrates the growing sense of insecurity among Jewish communities in Europe amid a surge in antisemitic incidents and political extremism.
