Discrimination and hate crime against Jews in EU Member States: Experiences and perceptions of antisemitism

This survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) is the first-ever to collect comparable data on Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism, hate-motivated crime and discrimination across a number of EU Member States, specifically in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Its findings reveal a worrying level of discrimination, particularly in employment and education, a widespread fear of victimisation and heightening concern about antisemitism online.

An accompanying technical report (please click on the Related Url) describes the steps taken to collect data in all nine countries that were covered in the survey, including Romania.
