Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said in an interview with the German Welt am Sonntag newspaper he’s concerned about a sharp rise in anti-Semitic attacks in France.” The anti-Semitic incidents in France are disturbing and frightening for the Jewish community in Germany also,” Schuster said. France is not the only EU country experiencing a spike in antiSemitic acts; both Germany and Britain have also reported an uptick last year, reaching a record 1,652 in the UK.
