Campus Homburg, 66424 Homburg, Deutschland - On May 15, Roland Rixecker, the President of the Saarland Constitutional Court and representative for Jewish life in Saarland, will keep an important guest lecture as part of the Paul Fritsche Foundation Scientific Forum. The lecture entitled "If the Jews do not give the Jews, the anti-Semite would invent him", based on a quote from Jean-Paul Sartre, is devoted to Jewish life and anti-Semitism in the present. The event takes place at 6:15 p.m. in the central lecture hall building 35 (lecture hall 1) on the Homburg campus of the University of the Saarland.

Rixecker, who has been responsible for combating anti -Semitism in Saarland since 2019, emphasizes the continuing presence of anti -Semitic attitudes. In particular, the measurement of such attitudes was cleared by current research projects such as the Arendt project, which examines Jewish perspectives on anti-Semitism in Germany. This project conducts quantitative and qualitative surveys to grasp the perception and the experiences of Jews in German society. Initial results indicate a significant feeling of security in the context of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

anti -Semitism in different facets

rixecker explains that anti -Semitism not only grown historically, but is also present in various forms. While religiously motivated anti -Semitism is less common in today's world, racist anti -Semitism has developed since the end of the 19th century. After the Second World War, a new challenge was: Israel -related anti -Semitism, which can currently be seen in many discussions about Israeli politics towards the Palestinians, especially in the Gaza Strip.

It is important to note that anti -Semitism is not limited to certain age groups or social classes. Rixecker claims to play a central, independent and advisory role in Saarland in order to counter anti -Semitic incidents and crimes. He is both a contact for Jewish fellow citizens as well as for groups and organizations. His task includes the sensitization of the society for questions of anti -Semitism and the coordination of measures by the state government to combat this problem. Anti -Semitism representative who aims to identify and combat anti -Semitic attitudes.

socio -political challenges

In the social discussion on anti -Semitism, the role of Muslims is also discussed. Many interviewed in the Arendt project expressed concern about the immigration of Muslims that were socialized in an anti-Semitic climate. These statements illustrate the existing tensions and challenges in the inter -religious dialogue. The point of crystallization remains the Israel-Palestine conflict, which often serves as a catalyst for anti-Semitic statements. sanktund-sezial sciences.de shows that a large part of the respondents have the desire to hear a clear political statement against anti-Semitism.

rixecker will offer a differentiated analysis of this complex topic. His expertise and efforts to identify and combat anti -Semitic currents are of central importance for Saarland. The upcoming lecture not only offers an academic examination of the topic, but also a platform for dialogue about Jewish life and the challenges that the community faces.
