Violent acts abound to such a degree that Jewish families have begun leaving out of fear for their safety. Malmö was one of the earliest and most industrialized towns of Scandinavia, but until the turn of the millennium had been struggling with the adaptation to post-industrialism. Since then, Malmö has become a "new" city, with impressive architectural developments, attracting new biotech and IT companies, and particularly students through Malmö University.

The city contains many historic buildings and parks, and is also a commercial centre for the western part of Scania. "Threats against Jews have increased steadily in Malmö in recent years and many young Jewish families are choosing to leave the city," said Fredrik Sieradzki of the Jewish Community of Malmö.

This being borne out by the fact that from 2008 to 2009 crimes against Jews doubled including Jewish cemeteries and synagogues being defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti. In addition a chapel at another Jewish burial site in Malmö was firebombed during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza last January. This has led the Jewish residents of Malmö to conclude that a part of local anti-Jewish sentiment is linked with negative attitudes towards Israel.

The Jewish residents number around 700 with a fast growing Muslim population. Of interest however, is the fact that the Jews do not attribute much of the problem to the Muslim community but rather to the local Swedes. Sieradzki believes that the attitude of Malmö politicians, especially Social Democrat city council chair Ilmar Reepalu, has allowed anti-Semitism to reach the levels that it currently has.

"He's demonstrated extreme ignorance when it comes to our problems," Sieradzki explained. "It's shameful and regrettable that such a powerful politician could be so ignorant about the threats we face. If you read between the lines, he seems to be suggesting that the violence directed toward us is our own fault simply because we didn't speak out against Israel. We're a non-political, cultural and religious organization, and there are all kinds of Jews in Malmö."

Sieradzki admitted his pessimism about the future of the Jewish community in Malmö, saying that there needs to be a "complete change in attitude" among the city's politicians if the situation is going to improve. "These issues need to be taken seriously," he said, advocating for dialogue between politicians, Islamic groups and the Jewish community. "But right now many Jews in Malmö are really concerned about the situation here and don't believe they have a future here."

During World War II and while apparently neutral Sweden played a role in humanitarian efforts and many refugees, among them many Jews from Nazi-occupied Europe, were saved partly because of the Swedish involvement in rescue missions at the internment camps and partly because Sweden served as a haven for refugees, primarily from the Nordic countries and the Baltic states.

How things have changed.

[Hate Preacher Vows To Establish Sharia Law Across Europe]

Hate Preacher Vows To Establish Sharia Law Across Europe

The London-based cleric says Muslims have a duty to "Call for Sharia" wherever they can in the world, the Daily Star reports. Speaking of his former Islam4UK supporters, Choudary added : "At the end of the day there is no prohibition for anyone to set up new organisations or platforms calling for something peaceful.

"As long as they are not doing anything illegal under the Terrorism Act. We are most interested in establishing the Sharia in France and Rome. We need to go to Rome and raise a banner saying the Day of Judgment will come when the Muslims take Rome. [and that is not hate speech ?] We will definitely conquer Rome one day," the paper quoted him, as saying.

Choudary also spoke of taking Sharia law to Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Germany.

[Anti-Semitist incidents doubled]

In 2009, the number of anti-Semite incidents in Amsterdam doubled compared to the year before. The Jewish community feels under siege. On an evening during the week-long Jewish holiday of Sukkot, Ber van Halem (22) crossed a street in Amsterdam's affluent Zuid neigbourhood, only to hear a group of boys invoke a Dutch ethnic slur ("Kankerjood") involving both a deadly disease and his Jewish heritage. Not once, but several times.

Van Halem confronted the boys and continued on his way. Suddenly, he heard the sound of bicycles behind him. He turned around and an argument developed. Out of nowhere, he felt somebody hit him. He fell to the ground. "I was kicked in my stomach and on my shoulder while prone," Van Halem recounted.

Van Halem's beating, which took place in October 2008, remains one of the most infamous manifestations of anti-Semitism in the Netherlands in recent years. The incident led to public outcry, when local police failed to find time to register Van Halem's formal complaint days later. "We were very busy working a robbery," a spokesperson for the Amsterdam- police force explained. The Van Halem case has since been closed. Not one perpetrator was caught.

Anti-Semitist incidents doubled
In 2008, 14 anti-Semitic incidents were reported in the Dutch capital, making for relatively calm year in the city that is home to most of the country's approximately 40,000 Jews. New - as yet unpublished - data collected by a semi-governmental agency that reports on discrimination, have shows that the number of reported incidents grew to 30 in 2009. This development is in line with national trends, said Elise Friedmann of the Centre for Information and Documentation on Israel, a pro-Israel lobby group in the Netherlands. "We estimate the total number of reported incidents doubled in 2009," she said.

Israel's military offensive in the Gaza strip in January of that year was the driving force behind the explosive growth, according to Friedmann. "In that month alone we had a hundred or so reports come in, almost the same amount we did over the entire year before," she said.

When an Israeli military operation dominates the headline, Van Halem is one of the first to notice it on the streets. "The verbal abuse hurled at me on the streets is becoming more severe and more regular," he said. Experience has taught him that the boys taunting him are almost always of Moroccan descent.

"Their reasoning goes something like this : Israelis are Jews, Palestinians are Arabs, so we Moroccan 'Arabs' in the Netherlands are going to take on Dutch Jews," said Menno ten Brink, a rabbi for the liberal Jewish community in Amsterdam.

More and more under siege
At the time when Van Halem was beaten, Israel was relatively quiet however. "They spotted my skullcap and started swearing at me," he recounted. Van Halem has been wearing the traditional headgear, proscribed by the Jewish faith, since he was six. "Ever since, I have been cursed regularly. When I was 8 I hurt myself after I was pushed against a bicycle stand. My leg needed stitches," he said.

Many people witnessed his 2008 beating and were able to give the police good descriptions of the assailants. Van Halem was surprised when the police sent him a letter, letting him know that the perpetrators had never been found. Rabbi Ten Brink wonders whether the police had really tried its best. "All these witnesses and the police can't find the guy who did it. Telling," he said.

A spokesperson for the Amsterdam police force assured they had done everything within their power. We had plainclothes cops staking out the area for days, looking for the boys. But we couldn't find anyone," the spokesperson said. The case was finally closed in May of last year.

Ten Brink's sceptical attitude towards the police illustrates of the Amsterdam Jewish community at large. Jews here feel more and more under siege as they are exposed to a growing barrage of name-calling, hate mail, firecrackers in their mailboxes, graffiti and – occasionally – physical abuse. They feel the government should do more about it, by coming down harder on perpetrators, for one, but also by investing more in their security financially.

'Hilter let one get away'
The liberal Jewish community in Amsterdam is building a new synagogue. "Security is costing us hundreds of thousands of euros," Ten Brink said. "In Antwerp and Paris, synagogues were attacked. The same could happen here." On the shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, security officers guard the synagogues. "Fear has taken hold," said Max Engelander, chairman of the Amsterdam police force's Jewish network, which was founded last year. "That is why we do not take lightly to anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination," he said.

How big is anti-Semitism really in Amsterdam ? "It is a serious problem, but it doesn't occur on a daily basis," Ten Brink said. Rabbi Raphaël Evers a rabbi serving Amsterdam's orthodox community, felt the problem was more serious. "I do not get out much, but when I do I am almost always insulted along the lines of 'Hitler let one get away'. My mother says it is worse now than it was before the second world war," he said. [ ... what BS !]

Bloeme Evers-Emden, a 83-year old survivor of the concentration camps, lost most of her family during the Holocaust. "In 1939 I was 13. The NSB [The Dutch fascist party] disseminated a lot of anti-Jewish propaganda back then, but I do not remember Jews getting beaten as they are now". 

Evers-Emden lives in a part of Amsterdam home to a lot of Moroccans. "I saw a kid about 8 years old yelling something about 'killing Jews'. I asked him 'do you know what you're saying ?' He said 'yes', and went on repeating himself." 
Van Halem feels uncertain whether anti-Semitism is on the rise. "It goes up and down, mostly following events in Israel," he said. He and his friends do feel an urge to strike back. "A lot of my friends have been trained in the Israeli army. I have years of martial arts training myself. Occasionally we'll say : 'come on, let go get them back'. But in the end, we don't want to form a militia or anything".

[German Court Pledges 500 Million Euros For Jewish Ghetto Workers]

German Court Pledges 500 Million Euros For Jewish Ghetto Workers

Former Jewish ghetto workers can expect old-age pension payments worth a total of 500 million euros, a German court announced on Wednesday. The Essen court said that German welfare authorities are to run a backdated audit of pension claims, based on a 2009 court ruling in favor of three Holocaust survivors who had demanded a pension after being forced to work by the Nazis.

At the time, the federal court had decided that Nazi victims were entitled to pension payments for work they were forced to carry out in ghettos during World War II. The ruling was also applied to people who had only been paid by receiving food and other gratuities for their work. Until then, such claims had failed in cases where people did not receive wages from their German occupiers.

The Nazis had forced Jewish residents of many German and eastern European cities to live in ghettos, which were cordoned-off and starvation-ravaged zones, before being sent to death camps. [ ... where millions survived - it must have been a miracle]

The social welfare court in Essen is responsible for all pension claims from former ghetto residents who now live in Israel. The court estimated that roughly two thirds of all claims would now be approved. Until now, 90 per cent of all claims were rejected. In total, the pension authorities are faced with around 70,000 claims, of which 30,000 emanate from Israel.

During World War II, the Nazis extensively exploited forced labor because a large part of the German male workforce was doing military service.
