The highest number of antisemitic crimes in Germany have been recorded since records began in 2001.
Figures released by the country’s Interior Minister Horst Seehofer showed there were 2,032 cases of antisemitic crime in 2020, up 13 per cent from 2019.
A study in October last year found over a quarter of Germans hold antisemitic belief.
Last year, two people were killed in an attempted armed attack on a synagogue in Halle on Yom Kippur.
Charlotte Knobloch, a Holocaust survivor and German Jewish leader, said the increase in antisemitic crimes was “no longer surprising”, according to ABC News.
She suggested this was being affected by the popularity of the the Alternative for Germany party, the largest opposition party.
