Minister of State for Culture Monika Grütters sees the fight against anti-Semitism as an ongoing task two years after the attack on the synagogue in Halle.
"It requires the consistent harshness of criminal law, the unmistakable ostracism by all groups in our society, education and school education," said the CDU politician on Thursday evening.
Halle / Berlin - At the same time, it is important that Jews in Germany are not only associated with the issue of anti-Semitism.
"That is why we have to make the vibrancy and diversity of Jewish life in Germany visible again and again in culture and the media."

Jewish community "shocked" by possible attack plan
The chairman of the Jewish community in Halle, Max Privorozki, was appalled by the alleged Islamist attack plan on a synagogue in Hagen.
“At first I didn't know whether it was Halle or Hagen,” said Privorozki.
He had only been informed that the risk situation was allegedly in a city with an "H".
Jewish community "shocked" by possible attack plan
On October 9, Halle celebrates the second anniversary of the Halle attack.
At that time, a heavily armed terrorist tried to break into the synagogue on Yom Kippur, the highest Jewish holiday, and to cause a massacre.
However, he did not get into the church, then shot the 40-year-old passer-by Jana L. and later the 20-year-old Kevin S in a kebab shop. On the run, he injured other people and exchanged fire with the police before he was arrested.
The higher regional court in Naumburg sentenced the man to life imprisonment with subsequent preventive detention at the end of 2020.
