Against an appropriation of Jewish community by AfD, President of Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, has kept: "The thought that is represented in parts of AfD was – my impression – also that of thoughts that led to worst persecution of Jews in ir history, "Schuster said in a conversation with Cologne City scoreboard.

The antisemitism in a "small remnant" of population in Germany, in which "resentment and hostility of Jews, indeed Jew-hatred," Rose, cobbler led both to "clear disinhibition" in social media as well as to increased number of Muslim Refugees.

"Refugees from Muslim countries who grew up with Jew-hatred and Israel-hostility are certainly an additional potential for antisemitism. Unfortunately, this cannot be denied. "

The Jews in Germany could not expect people who are fleeing from Muslim countries to put ir prejudices against ir religion on German border, continued Schuster. Nor are only prejudices and stereotypes that would be brought about: "The equality of men and women is not a matter of course for all, nor is acceptance of different sexual orientations", explained President of Central Council.
