Germany anti-Semitic offences up sharply in 2018
Anti-Semitic offences rose almost 10 percent in Germany last year, and violent attacks were up more than 60 percent, crime statistics showed Wednesday.
Police recorded 1,646 offences motivated by hatred against Jews, said a government answer to a request by far-left Die Linke party lawmaker Petra Pau.
Among these were 62 violent offences that left 43 people injured, up from 37 physical attacks the previous year.
