Germany records its highest number of antisemitic incidents since monitoring began, according to a 2025 annual report by the Berlin-based Federal Association of Departments for Research and Information on Antisemitism (RIAS). The group documents 8,725 incidents in 2025, described as the highest level on record and slightly higher than the previous year. The report presents a breakdown of antisemitic hostility that includes a range of abuse and threats, such as verbal attacks, physical assaults, and death threats. It also cites online threats as part of the overall pattern. Multiple accounts say the report highlights an increase in violence and that a substantial share of incidents are connected to the State of Israel. One report notes that many cases relate to Israel, and that the incidents include examples that feature ominous Holocaust references alongside attacks such as a widely reported knife attack. The outlets characterise the findings as showing persistently high levels of antisemitism in Germany, with both offline and online manifestations.
