Antisemitism: Summary overview of the situation in the European Union 2001-2011

Abstract:

This working paper is the eighth update of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) overview of Manifestations of antisemitism in the EU.

It outlines the broad contours of antisemitism in the European Union (EU). The update assembles statistical data covering the period 1 January 2001–31 December 2011 (where available) on antisemitic incidents collected by international, governmental and non-governmental sources.

Notable antisemitic incidents that occurred in 2011 are highlighted throughout the update to reveal the reality behind the figures. The update shows that antisemitism remains a problem for civil society as a whole and for Jewish populations in particular across the EU. It is therefore imperative that policy and civil society actors at all levels remain vigilant and pursue their efforts in combating antisemitism.
