Jewish People’s Experiences and Perceptions of Antisemitism

Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.
Overview

This report presents results from the third European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) survey among Jews in the EU on their lived experiences of antisemitism. 

The survey follows FRA’s 2012 and 2018 surveys. The findings presented in this report provide policymakers and other actors in the field with evidence they can draw on to refine existing or devise new courses of action to combat antisemitism, ensure the security of Jewish communities and individuals and foster Jewish life.
