    Yes it still exist there .There is racism and antisemitism all over the world. I am Jewish.The Nazis and there supporters are responsible for the Holocaust ,NOT all Germans. There were W.W.2 era German Christians that were anti-Nazi like the White Rose society.Modern German has laws against racism and antisemitism

    Well, people who think anti-Semitism is a German disease are wrong. There are racists, xenophobes, anti-Semitists, anti-Black and anti-whatever all around the world.

    Modern-day Germany is nothing like it was 70 years ago. It's a very pacifist, tolerant and cosmopolitan society today, much more tolerant than many other countries. It certainly has its share of haters and neo-nazis, but this sort of lowlives exist everywhere.

    Anti-Semitism is not at all a prevalent issue in Germany today. Just because a psychopath has targeted a particular group of people as the scapegoat for Germany's problems in the 1930's it doesn't mean that Germans in general will always feel resentments towards Jewish people. But that's probably a stigma we will never get rid of, even though the WW2 crimes were committed by a bunch of nazi-monsters, not by the ordinary population, let alone contemporary Germans.

    I've wondered this question. Because people don't really change. They usually just change the angle they come at a situation. Same with America. I'm a black woman and I know nothing changed but the game. Self-hate is of abundance in our community. Because it's the new angle. I'm sure it's the same in Germany. Difference is Jewish people have a very strong togetherness. Hard to come at them from a different angle.

    There is probably a little Anti-Semitism, but nothing like the extremely blatant hate during the Holocaust. Jewish people probably don't face too many problems.
