This is the best summary I could come up with:
BERLIN (AP) — Several thousand people demonstrated against antisemitism in Berlin on Sunday as Germany grapples with a large increase in anti-Jewish incidents following Hamas’ attack on Israel two months ago.
Police estimated that around 3,200 people gathered in the rain in the German capital, while organizers put the figure at 10,000, German news agency dpa reported.
Participants in the protest, titled “Never again is now,” marched to the Brandenburg Gate.
A group tracking antisemitism in Germany said in late November that it had documented a drastic increase in antisemitic incidents in the month after Hamas’ attack - a total of 994, an increase of 320% compared with the same period a year earlier.
Germany’s labor minister, Hubertus Heil, said that many decent people are too quiet on the issue.
The event had wide support, with the speaker of the German parliament and Berlin’s mayor also among its backers.
