Deutsche Welle reported on November 11, 2026, that Jewish communities across Europe face growing hostility as Holocaust survivor Regina Sluszny, 87, commemorated victims at Auschwitz. A European Jewish Association delegation visited Krakow and Auschwitz on November 9 and 10, timed to the anniversary of the 1938 November Pogroms, which the report calls a watershed on the path to the Holocaust. Sluszny, hidden as a two-year-old in 1942 after her parents fled the Nazis, has visited the site many times, and her husband's family lost seven relatives there. The report asks what the promise of Never Again means for Jewish life in Europe today. Deutsche Welle reported that France recorded 1,320 antisemitic incidents in 2025, fewer than in 2024 but about three times as many as in 2022, and that German police recorded 6,548 antisemitic crimes in 2025, up from 2,641 in 2022. Ellen van Praagh, chair of the Interprovincial Rabbinate in the Netherlands, said her family has lived there since the 16th century, yet she no longer feels safe as a Jew and Jewish communities must live behind high walls. Rabbi Menachem Margolin, the association's chairman, said laws protecting Jewish life are often not enforced and that officials hesitate to name antisemitism when it is politically inconvenient.
