New Berlin poster campaign aims to get Germans to recognize anti-Semitic biases


January 18, 2022

There is no such thing as “soft” anti-Semitism, or put more bluntly, Jew-hatred.

That’s the message from the city of Berlin, Germany, which is in the midst of a poster campaign meant to educate the public on how anti-Jewish jokes, conspiracy theories, off-the-cuff remarks and even artistic expressions in the public discourse are beyond the pale.

Anti-Semitic incidents in Berlin reached a peak in the first half of 2021, fueled by Israel-hatred and COVID-19 protest movements that appropriated the language and imagery of the Holocaust. The city recorded 522 anti-Semitic outrages in that time, up 17 percent from the first half of 2020 and the highest level since 2018.
