According to a new study published by an independent committee of
experts appointed by the German parliament, About 20 percent of
Germans have a "latent" hatred for Jews. At a very young age, German
schoolchildren are already using the word "Jew" as an insult, and
"Jew" is commonly heard as a curse word in the playground. In local
soccer leagues throughout Germany, anti-Semitic jeers aimed at Jewish
teams are common, including "Jews to the gas," "Bring back Auschwitz"
and "Burn the synagogues." The study criticized the way Germany deals
with anti-Semitism.
