The fear of growing anti-Semitism overshadows the opening of the Jewish Academy

The Jewish Academy in Frankfurt opens as Europe's first institution of its kind, aiming to combat antisemitism through education. President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, highlights the threats to Jewish life in Germany, emphasizing the need for political action against antisemitism. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier echoes these sentiments, stressing that protecting Jewish life should not be a political bargaining chip. The Academy, located in a historically significant area, aims to be a center for dialogue and knowledge, addressing contemporary Jewish issues while acknowledging the past. Security measures reflect the ongoing threats faced by Jewish institutions.
