Merkel and anti semitism
Fighting anti-Semitism is every German's duty, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has told a rally in Berlin. The protest against anti-Semitism comes 75 years since the start of World War Two, in which six million Jews were killed by Nazi Germany. With attacks on Jews increasing, the message to Germany and the world is "tolerance" , Mrs Merkel said. The surge in anti-Semitism follows the summer's conflict in Gaza.

The rally at the Brandenburg Gate - under the banner "Stand Up: Jew Hatred - Never Again!" - coincided with a World Jewish Congress (WJC) meeting in the capital.
