Our Regional Meeting Central-East on the prevention of and fight against antisemitism took place in Leipzig on November 12, 2026, bringing together more than 20 stakeholders from Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
We were pleased to welcome Michael Panse, Commissioner of the State Government for Jewish Life in Thuringia and the Fight against Antisemitism, among the participants.
Together with commissioners and representatives of Jewish communities, counseling and reporting centers, universities, labor unions, initiatives and Jewish student organizations, we discussed current challenges, opportunities for cooperation and possible approaches.
Topics of discussion included:
- What current developments and challenges can be observed in the federal states?
- What approaches to preventing and combating antisemitism exist in the regions?
- Which structures are already in place, and what needs remain?
The day made one thing clear: there is a strong need for exchange across state borders.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed their experience and perspectives to this meeting!
