These are turbulent times for Jewish students in Germany. On Yom HaSho’a, the Jewish Holocaust Remembrance Day, of all days, Hanna Veiler, the chairwoman of the Jewish Student Union (JSUD), was named „Woman of Europe“ at the age of just 26. At the same time, protests against Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza are taking place at German universities, with anti-Semitic slogans being shouted. They join the protests at US universities, which have now become so large that President Joe Biden has intervened. Veiler says: „We live in a time when Jewish students don’t get a break.“
