Antisemitism: Summary overview of the situation in the European Union 2001-2011

The update assembles statistical data covering the period 1 January 2001-31 December 2011 on antisemitic incidents collected by supranational, governmental and non-governmental sources.

Notable antisemitic incidents that occurred in 2011 are highlighted throughout the report to reveal the reality behind the figures. The update shows that antisemitism remains a problem for civil society as a whole and for Jewish populations in particular across the EU. It is therefore imperative that policy and civil society actors at all levels remain vigilant and pursue their efforts in combating antisemitism.
