Anti -Semitic poster at school in Hanau - state security determined!

Hanau, Deutschland - In Hanau, an anti -Semitic poster was discovered, which leads to this in this regard of the state protection department of the police headquarters in Südosthessen. The poster was attached to a display with cable ties with high school diploma and was hung near the entrance of a school. The police say that due to suspicion of sedition, is investigated. The poster was apparently attached on Monday morning, while the advertisement was submitted on Tuesday, April 30, 2025. This evening, an event of the Jewish community of Hanau took place in the adjacent park, which is why a possible connection between the poster and the event is not excluded, such as op-online reported.

anti -Semitism is a growing problem in Germany, which is again illustrated by the current events in Hanau. Felix Klein, the anti -Semitism representative, has determined an alarming increase in anti -Semitic motivated crimes in recent months. Since the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023, 2,249 such crimes have been registered. A significant part was not committed immediately after the incident, but many weeks and months later. This shows that the effects of such violent acts can have long-term consequences, such as Tagesschau reported.

The social Situation

There were 2,300 registered anti -Semitic crimes throughout 2022, and Klein emphasizes that Jews in Germany are often attacked or frightened. This high number of anti -Jewish acts has now largely disappeared from the public debate and media reporting, which criticizes small. He demands that the state and society should not create any spaces for hatred of Jews, and advocates a reform of the paragraph 130 in the Criminal Code for better combating anti -Semitism.

Josef Schuster, President of the Central Council of Jews, emphasizes the great mental burden for Jews. For fear, many are no more than Jewish, which leads to a decline in visits to services and events in synagogues. Some dates were even canceled. Schuster sees right -wing extremist anti -Semitism as the greatest threat because it is well organized.

protests and measures

Although large demonstrations against right -wing extremism are considered important, there were also attacks on Jews during such events. Schuster notices a disturbing encounter between the extreme right and left in anti -Semitism. The Central Council of the Jews launched the #stoprepeating stories campaign in order to draw attention to anti -Semitically motivated incidents in Germany. Klein also demands financial security for memorials and that Jewish life is finally considered part of society. Institutions that spread Jewish should not be accepted as part of freedom of expression.

The situation in Hanau once again shows how important it is to act against anti -Semitic incidents and to take a clear attitude against hatred of Jews. It is to be hoped that the police's investigation will lead to a rapid clarification of the incident and a sign against anti -Semitism will be set.
