Excerpt:
Josef Schuster, the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, says there are still parts of the country where it is considered dangerous to be Jewish.
"In some districts in major cities, I'd advise people not to identify themselves as Jews," he said in an interview with the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. "Experience has shown that openly wearing a kippa or a necklace with the Star of David is enough to attract verbal or physical threats."
Schuster said anti-Semitism was increasing in Germany and accused the government of failing to "take the necessary actions" to tackle the trend. One important step, he added, would be the appointment of a commissioner to record attacks and serve as a point of contact for people targeted by prejudice.
