German Jews propose anti-Semitism lessons for Muslim migrants
[BBC] Germany's foremost Jewish organisation has called for special classes for Muslim immigrants to help stop the spread of anti-Semitism.
Its vice-president, Abraham Lehrer, said many migrants were arriving from countries were "anti-Semitism is part of the rationale of the state".
He said integration classes should be "tailored" by country of origin.
Germany has seen a large increase in asylum seekers since 2015, many of whom come from Muslim-majority countries.
The country is battling a wave of anti-Semitism, partly attributed to rhetoric from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Hundreds of anti-Semitic incidents were reported in Germany last year, the vast majority of which were carried out by neo-Nazi or other far-right groups.
