Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 also has an impact on the lives of Jews outside Israel. Anti-Semitic crimes have increased enormously in Germany since then. But hostility is also increasing in everyday life. The situation at universities is such that many Jewish students have been avoiding campus since October 7.
We talk to the Commissioner for Jewish Life and Combating and Preventing Anti-Semitism, Stefan Hensel, and the President of the Association of Jewish Students North, Rebecca Vaneeva, about Jewish life in Hamburg after October 7 - and about what should be done: in the recording and investigation of anti-Semitic crimes and incidents, in education and in everyday life on the street.
Dr. Olaf Kistenmacher, historian
