43% of Dutch Jews take active steps to hide their identity in public



A survey conducted by the Een Vandaag television show found that 43% of Dutch Jews take active steps to hide their Jewish identity in public. For instance, by wearing a hat over their kippah, or hiding their Star of David pendants. Thirty four percent say they have experienced antisemitic remarks directed against them. This concerns mainly remarks connected to Israel.  Eleven percent said that they had experienced antisemitic violence against them.
