Death threats against Munich Jewish community president, Holocaust survivor

Death threats were made against Charlotte Knobloch, the president of the Jewish community in Munich and a Holocaust survivor. The threats reportedly referenced the AfD party's election victory, with a statement reading: 'AfD won. Tomorrow we'll hang Knobloch.'

Charlotte Knobloch, the 93-year-old president of the Jewish community of Munich and a Holocaust survivor, was subjected to death threats following the recent electoral success of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. According to reports received by The Zioneer, the threat explicitly stated: 'AfD won. Tomorrow we'll hang Knobloch.' The incident highlights rising antisemitism in Germany, with community leaders increasingly targeted. The Munich police have been alerted, and security measures around Knobloch are expected to be reinforced. No additional information about the perpetrators is available at this stage.
