Heidelberg fights against anti -Semitism: new registration office set up!

Heidelberg is on the barricade against anti -Semitism! The city has launched a new "Anti -Semitism reporting point", which enables citizens to report and document anti -Semitic incidents. This is a crucial step to develop targeted prevention measures and to protect Jewish life in the city. As the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung reports, Mayor Eckart Würzner said at a press conference: "Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is increasing more and more." The city takes this challenge very seriously and does everything they can to defend Jewish life.

The event for this initiative is alarming: It was only in September that a tourist in the old town was attacked anti-Semitically because she was wearing a T-shirt with the message "Bring Home Now" and a Davidstern. This incident caused dismay not only in Heidelberg, but also nationwide. Such attacks are not only isolated cases, but part of a worrying trend that alerts the city and its citizens.

a safe port for everyone

The new registration office, which is located at the Office for Equal Opportunities, offers a contact point for all those affected by anti -Semitic discrimination, harassment or violence. Witnesses of such incidents are also called to report. The city has set up a telephone number: 06221-5815545, as well as an email address: Meldestelle_antisemismus@heidelberg.de to offer support to those affected. If necessary, contact is made to specialized advisory and educational offers in order to support the victims in the best possible way.

The city of Heidelberg not only shows a strong sign against anti -Semitism, but also a clear commitment to diversity and tolerance. It is important that every incident is taken seriously and the city administration actively acts to ensure a safe environment for all citizens.

Together against anti -Semitism

The registration office is an important step to raise awareness of anti -Semitic incidents and to mobilize the community. As the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung reports, it is crucial that the citizens do not shy away from reporting incidents. This is the only way to gain a comprehensive picture of the situation and take targeted measures to combat anti -Semitism in any form. The city of Heidelberg shows that it is ready to act against this form of discrimination and to set a sign of solidarity with the Jewish community.

In a time when anti -Semitism occurs again, it is all the more important that society is together and that campaigns against any form of hatred and intolerance. The new registration office is a step in the right direction to promote safe and respectful coexistence.
