Open letters posted at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle called to end cooperation with the Halle Jewish community organization on a counter-antisemitism project because they were ostensibly Zionist. The Israeli embassy in Berlin stated on Tuesday that the letter had utility because it voiced a perspective that others kept to themselves – that they didn’t want any Jews at German universities.
The embassy issued its statement on Tuesday. A general view of the campus at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design was photographed on April 17, 2020.
