Anti-Semistism

Anti-Semitism is the "rumor about the Jews".

Theodor W. Adorno

For us, future orientation also includes education against anti-Semitism, i.e. looking at the situation today. Young people should learn what constitutes hostility towards Jews and where it can be found, for example in the form of hostility towards Israel. We offer the following documents online to conduct educational events on site:

Middle East

Demographically, on the other hand, Europe has long been closely intertwined with the Middle East: This applies to Turkey as well as to Arab North Africa.

Michael Wolffsohn, 2002

Anti-Semitism is no consequence of the middle east conflict, rather the middle east conflict is one consequence of anti-Semitism.

Ahmad Mansour, 2021

Through our commitment to the legacy of contemporary witnesses and against anti-Semitism, we have noticed that many people in Germany and Europe lack background knowledge about the history and current (educational) situation in the Middle East. Therefore, we have linked some of our own and external resources here so that you can get a brief overview that can serve as a starting point for further research:
