German Chancellor Olaf Scholz speaks during the inauguration of the newly built synagogue in Dessau Rosslau, Germany, October 22, 2023. REUTERSPIX: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed Sunday to stamp out anti-Semitism at the opening of a new synagogue, amid a spike in anti-Jewish incidents in the wake of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Germany has seen a spate of anti-Semitic incidents since the attacks and Israel's retaliatory bombing campaign. The opening of the synagogue in Dessau came 85 years after a synagogue in the city was destroyed in the “Kristallnacht” anti-Jewish pogrom on November 9, 1938, when Nazi mobs torched and ransacked synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses across Germany in what is widely seen as the start of the Third Reich’s drive to wipe out Jews.The new building has been named the Weill Synagogue after the German-American composer Kurt Weill, whose father was a cantor in Dessau's Jewish community.
