Anti-Semitism is still prevalent in Germany with some 19 million adults harbouring negative sentiments towards Jews, according to a new study. The Anti-Defamation League's Global 100 Index found that 27 per cent of German adults answered 'probably' or 'definitely' true to six or more of 11 stereotypes about Jews in the survey. The finding places Germany - which has an adult population of around 69 million - among the countries with the highest levels of anti-Semitism in western Europe. Austria (28%), Spain (29%), France (37%) and Greece (69%) were higher. Meanwhile, Sweden, with 4 per cent, had the least.

The study, which the ADL called 'the broadest survey of anti-Jewish attitudes ever conducted', found the lowest level of anti-Semitism in Laos, with just 0.2 per cent of the adult population expressing such views. 'Our findings are sobering but sadly not surprising,' said ADL National Director Abraham Foxman. 'We can now identify hotspots, as well as countries and regions of the world where hatred of Jews is virtually non-existent.' Foxman said findings about Greece had already led to an invitation from that country's prime minister to discuss possible remedies.
