Germany/anti-Semitism: "We must defend our democratic values" On 9 November 2018, Germany will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Kristallnacht, as German authorities express alarm over the resurgence of anti-Jewish acts in the country. For Felix Klein, the German government's anti-Semitism commissioner, it is essential to defend the democratic values of society, at a time when hatred is appearing "more often, more frankly and more brutally", 73 years after the end of the Holocaust.
