As Jews around the world gather Sunday night to mark the beginning of Yom Kippur, many in Germany remain uneasy about going together to their houses of worship to pray, a year after a white-supremacist targeted a synagogue on the holiest day in Judaism.

FILE - In this Friday, Oct. 11, 2019 file photo, candles reflect in an entrance sign after a human chain with lights was formed around the Jewish synagogue during the Sabbath celebrations in Halle , Germany, following an attack on the synagogue on Yom Kippur 2019.

Together with other young Jews from Berlin, the 29-year-old had traveled to the eastern German city to celebrate Yom Kippur, which fell on Oct. 9 in 2019, with the small, aging community there. The attack, one of the most violent and overt anti-Semitic acts in postwar history, caused shockwaves across Germany, which considers protecting its Jewish minority of about 200,000While many Jewish institutions get some kind of protection — particularly on Jewish holidays — the Halle synagogue didn’t have any. Now steps are being taken to ensure wider-spread security, said Josef Schuster, the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany.

Earlier this month, the federal government said it would also provide 22 million euros to improve security. In his book “Terror Against Jews,” published earlier this year after he visited more than 20 Jewish communities around the country, Steinke found that while authorities are helpful with making security assessments, the communities themselves are often left to implement the official suggestions.

I don’t blame them one bit. I hope they will be safe!

main sponsor of Nazism around the world is USA. Open segregation in Baltic countries, Nazi Unkraine, provocations in Germany, mass migration and so on.

People in the inner city are uneasy about returning home from the market through their neighborhoods due to BLM, Antifa activities in large Liberal run metropolitan areas. Your scenario is possible but this one is current

as more and more muslims(anti jews) immigrate to the west, more and more anti jewish incidents. It also gets local home grown anti jewish groups more and more power.

As a Christian which is incompatible with fascism but also zionism or judaism & Christian faith is above any law. Holocaust happened.But claiming uniquely holiness of this massmurder blocked urgently research why still massmurder on faith or skin pigmentation Africa Albinos ?

Vocês da imprensa dividem as pessoas pela cor e/ou religião. Eu caracterizo os profissionais da imprensa pelo seu caráter. E vocês são CANALHAS e HIPÓCRITAS.

Heartbreaking. Frightening! Jews are as safe as they will ever be under President Trump. God forgive us, but the Democrat House has a handful of AntiSemites and it’s growing. Pelosi & Schumer don’t give a shiiitt. When President Trump is gone—— JewsBeware

Yayyyy great idea, give more idiots more reason to do what you report for more reporting...

White supremacy must be stomped out everywhere it surfaces on the globe. Racism is violence.

黒人も同じ人類。アラブ人も同じ人類。 イスラエルは侵攻を止めるべき。 Blacks are the same human beings. Arabs are the same human beings. Israel should stop the invasion.

Plus, uh, COVID. Probably best to skip it this year.
