Contesto

On the day Israel observed Holocaust Remembrance Day, a stark new report from Tel Aviv University documented a record high in incidents of severe antisemitic violence targeting Jewish communities across Western nations in 2025. The findings, released as the world reflected on the genocide of six million Jews, present a sobering counterpoint to vows of "never again," revealing a sharp and alarming escalation in physical attacks, vandalism, and intimidation. The study details a significant year-over-year increase in acts classified as severe violence, moving beyond online hate speech or discrimination to encompass assaults, bomb threats against synagogues and community centers, and the desecration of cemeteries and memorials. This surge marks the highest level recorded since the university's Kantor Center began its annual audit, indicating a deepening crisis in countries with historically large and integrated Jewish populations.

Commemorations intended to honor victims and reinforce the lessons of history are now often conducted under heightened security. Community leaders express deep concern that the current environment is fostering fear and prompting some families to conceal their Jewish identity in public or reconsider their future in countries...
