Translation
What is an example of anti-Semitic behavior?
- A attending a Jewish festival
- B criticizing the Israeli government
- C denying the Holocaust ✓ Correct answer
- D playing soccer against Jews
Explanation
Denying the Holocaust is a clear form of antisemitism, since it denies the historical persecution and genocide of Jews as a group, and it is also a criminal offense in Germany. Visiting a Jewish festival, criticizing a government, or playing a soccer match carry no such hostility.
Tips
- Denial of Nazi crimes signals antisemitism, criticizing a state's politics or joining neutral activities does not.
