Imported Antisemitism?

Panel Discussion on Causes and Manifestations of Antisemitism Among Muslims in Germany (video recording available, in German)

Is Antisemitism increasing with the number of refugees from Arab countries, as is currently feared in media and political debates?

We discuss with political, academic, and practical experts which manifestations of Antisemitism among Arab migrants and Muslims in Germany exist, what causes they have, which counterstrategies are already being tested in practice and which further strategies may be necessary.
