Remembrance Day: Eurobarometer, “problem of antisemitism is growing in Europe”

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the European Commission published the results of a Eurobarometer survey on the perception of antisemitism. “The results show that a growing majority of Europeans (55% in 2025, compared to 50% in 2018) consider antisemitism as a problem in their Member State”. “47% of Europeans acknowledge a rise in antisemitism in their Member State over the past five years, an increase by 11 percentage points since 2018”. The most frequently cited manifestations are hostility in public spaces, antisemitic graffiti and online antisemitism. Almost 7 out of 10 Europeans think that the conflicts in the Middle East have an influence on the perception of Jewish people in their country. Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, said: “Jewish culture is woven into the fabric of European history. We must protect and nurture this today and well into the future. Remembrance ensures that we never forget historical truth. We remember, together”. The survey also found that half of Europeans (48%) think that “the Holocaust is sufficiently taught in school”. Also, a growing number of Europeans (66%) are aware of laws criminalising the incitement to antisemitic violence. Half of Europeans (52%) know about laws criminalising Holocaust denial.
