Central Council president does not see German democracy generally at risk
The President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Dr. Josef Schuster, does not see democracy in Germany is generally at risk.
“Antisemitism and and how a country deals with its minorities does say something about the state of democracy,” Schuster said Dr. Schuster to the Berlin-based Tagesspiegel: “However, I do not see any threat currently, because the German majority of the population is neither antisemitic nor does it harbour resentment against minorities in general.”
Predsjednik Centralnog Koncila Židova u Njemačkoj, dr. Josef Schuster, ne smatra da postoji rizik za demokraciju u Njemačkoj. On je rekao: "Antisemitizm i način kako zemlja tretira manjine govore nam o stanju demokracije. Iako ne izgleda da momentalno ima ikakve opasnosti jer većina njemačke populacije nije ni antisemitska niti je protiv manjina. Ipak postoje tendencije koje se moraju ozbiljno uzimati u obzir."
Dr. Schuster se slaže da sigurnost za sinagoge i druge židovske institucije trebaju biti osigurane- to nije znak opasnosti za demokraciju nego pitanje sigurnosti".
"Treba kazati jasno da je evidentno da sada postoji židovski život u Njemačkoj i da će ostati. Postoje mnogi planovi za 2021. za proslavu 1700 godišnjice Židova u Njemačkoj.

Regarding the fact that most non-Jews in Germany know little about Jewish life, Dr. Schuster explained that this is because most Germans have never had any contact with a Jew in their lives. In schools in particular, it is important to point out “that Jewish life in this country is centuries old” and that there Jewish life has been re-established in Germany after the Shoah.
“In schools, also, we often find that many teachers have reservations about addressing the issue of Judaism in the classroom,” Schuster concluded.
