What factors are contributing to the rise in violent crime among young people in Germany?

The increase in violent crime is linked to several factors: the lingering psychological effects of the coronavirus pandemic, a rise in crime among young people, and a disproportionately high number of non-German suspects in violent crimes (almost four times higher than the proportion of foreigners in the general population). The legalization of cannabis is believed to have masked a stagnation in overall crime figures.

The Israeli government viewed his planned remarks as an offense against Holocaust remembrance. The Memorial's aim was to avoid conflict with the Israeli government, but the resulting controversy undermines the integrity of Holocaust remembrance.
