A Jewish Future in Germany?

Panel Discussion as Part of the Paradoxes of Democracy Series (in German)

Since 7 October 2023, and the antisemitic manifestations it sparked, not least in the cultural and academic world, the conditions for Jewish life and the prospects for a future in Germany have changed. The electoral success of the far-right populist political party AfD has also contributed to this uncertainty. How do Jews in Germany view these developments?
