Young Berlin Jews: More Antisemitism, More Fear Since October 7

A new report reveals a troubling shift for young Jewish people in Berlin following the Hamas attacks on Israel last October. Several young Jews told DW they now encounter more antisemitism in the German capital. This has forced them to change their daily behavior due to increased caution. Their personal experiences, however, vary greatly. While some report direct confrontations, others describe a growing sense of unease. The findings highlight the complex reality for Berlin's Jewish community. Many now weigh their safety when displaying symbols of their faith or discussing their identity in public.
