  "account": "Weimar, Germany - Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed deep distress over numerous anti-Semitic incidents occurring within Germany. During the commemoration of the November pogroms of 1938 at the Buchenwald memorial site, Steinmeier emphasized that anti-Semitism must be opposed regardless of its origin, whether from political extremes, mainstream society, or Islamism. He stressed the importance of the democratic rule of law and society, expressing that it is a great gift that Jewish life has been restored in Germany. However, he deeply felt ashamed that Jews are still being insulted, threatened, and even physically assaulted on German streets and squares. The increase in antisemitic crimes since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and the need for better protection of synagogues left him feeling sad and angry. Despite these challenges, Steinmeier expressed hope, stating that the rule of law remains strong and unwavering. Yet, he urged society to remain vigilant and aware of the issues at hand. On the pogrom night of November 9-10, 1938, Nazis across Germany burned synagogues, persecuted Jews, and destroyed their homes and businesses.",
