Book Presentation: Terror Against Jews.

In Germany people have got used to conditions to which one should never get used: Jewish schools have to be guarded by armed men, Jewish worship takes place under police protection, threats are commonplace. The state has allowed this to happen - through a police force that does not effectively ward off this danger, but manages it; through a judiciary that whitewashes the problems over again and again.

Ronen Steinke, himself a lawyer, has traveled through Germany and reports on Jewish life under siege. He meets rabbis and police officers, confronts state security officers, secret service agents and ministers with the state's failure. A lot has to change in Germany. This book explains what needs to be done.

Ronen Steinke's book has been published by Piper Verlag and can be ordered here.
