The president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, underlined the need for Jews in the country to be able to live freely and without fear.
His comments on Thursday came on the 85th anniversary of the Nazi November pogroms against Germany’s Jews — and at a time when antisemitic incidents are once more on the rise.
Germany’s Scholz ‘ashamed’ at antisemitism wave as ‘Kristallnacht’ pogrom marked
BERLIN, Nov 9 (Reuters) – Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he was “ashamed and outraged” at a recent wave of antisemitic incidents in Germany, warning Berlin would not tolerate such anti-Jewish hatred as he marked the 85th anniversary of the Nazis’ “Kristallnacht” pogrom of Jews.
Scholz was speaking at a ceremony at a Berlin synagogue to mark “Kristallnacht” alongside Jewish leaders. The synagogue was among 1,000 that were damaged or destroyed across Germany and Austria by Nazi mobs during the “Night of Broken Glass” in November 1938.
