Schuster, the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, called for a collective stand against the growing antisemitic sentiment in society. His remarks followed a violent incident in nearby Höchberg, where a 65-year-old man wearing an Israel pin was severely injured in an alleged antisemitic attack. A 20-year-old Syrian man has been arrested as a suspect in the case. This statement was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk on July 24, 2026.
