Religion - Brochure against hatred of Jews distributed to Israelite community
The Munich police have handed over a brochure for those affected by anti-Semitism to the Jewish Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria. The brochures are to be distributed to all members of the community, according to the police. The Munich Police Headquarters handed over several thousand copies to the president of the community, Charlotte Knobloch, on Thursday. The brochure is intended to encourage those affected by anti-Semitism and other hate crimes to report the acts.
It is particularly important to the police to inform those affected about their protection options in criminal proceedings. Accordingly, it is possible not to include one's own address in the file in cases of particular danger.
"Protecting Jews from hate crime is a core concern for the Munich police", said Police Commissioner Thomas Hampel in a press release. The Central Anti-Semitism Commissioner of the Bavarian judiciary, Andreas Franck, explained that only around 20 percent of those affected by anti-Semitic crimes report them to the police. The brochure is intended to ensure that this proportion increases.
