4:24Now PlayingSeveral thousand people protested Sunday in Germany's capital, Berlin, against antisemitism, hatred and racism.
The march came amid a rise in antisemitic incidents since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel and the launch of Israel's offensive in Gaza.
A similar protest was held in the Belgian capital, Brussels, in support of the country's Jewish community.
In Berlin, demonstrators braved heavy rain as they moved from the Tiergarten to the Brandenburg Gate under the motto "Never again is now," a reference to the Holocaust and the crimes committed by the Nazi government.
Police estimated the number of participants at 3,200, while organizers said they expected 10,000 people to take part.
Josef Schuster, the president of the Central Council of Jews, said at the event that he sometimes didn't recognize Germany as "something has gotten out of hand," referring to a rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years, particularly since the Israel-Hamas conflict erupted.
"There is still an opportunity to repair this situation, but to do so you also have to admit what has gone wrong in the last few years, what you were unable or unwilling to see," he added.
The protest was also attended by Labor Minister Hubertus Heil and Bundestag President Bärbel Bas.
