默茨在慕尼黑犹太教堂纪念「水晶之夜」88周年：反犹主义已无处不在、德国面临历史性考验
德国总理默茨11月9日在慕尼黑一座犹太教堂出席1938年「水晶之夜」反犹暴行88周年纪念活动时表示，反犹主义在德国已变得无处不在，德国正面临是否兑现保护犹太社群承诺的历史性考验。
默茨在讲话中谴责说，幼儿园和犹太教堂如今要靠防弹玻璃和持枪警察保护，是一幅令人恐惧的景象。他说，人们在街道上、城镇里、邻国的城市里、议会、俱乐部和学校里都能看到和听到反犹主义。他说，正因如此，对于人们一再说出的「永不重演」，现在是见真章的时刻。
默茨表示，他的政府将竭尽全力保护德国国内外的犹太生活，并重申德国长期支持以色列，称这是德国历史责任的一部分。
据监测机构 RIAS 的最新年度报告，自2023年加沙战争开始以来，德国反犹事件一直以惊人的规模发生，去年共记录8,725起，约为2022年的三倍多，相当于每天约24起。
默茨当天早些时候还提名巴伐利亚州议会议长 Ilse Aigner 为保守派阵营的联邦总统候选人，若当选，她将成为德国首位女性国家元首。

Merz at Munich Synagogue on Kristallnacht Anniversary: Antisemitism Has Become 'Omnipresent,' Germany Faces Historic Test
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Nov. 9, at a Munich synagogue marking the 88th anniversary of the 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom, that antisemitism has become omnipresent in Germany and that the country faces a historic test of its commitment to protecting its Jewish community.
Merz decried the horrifying sight of kindergartens and synagogues protected by bulletproof glass and armed police. He said antisemitism can be seen and heard on the streets, in towns and cities, in neighboring European countries and around the world, in parliaments, clubs and schools. That, he said, is why this is now the moment of truth for the "Never again" that Germans utter so often.
Merz said his government would do everything in its power to protect Jewish life in Germany and abroad, and restated Germany's longstanding support for Israel, which he called part of Germany's historical responsibility.
According to the most recent annual report from RIAS, a monitoring group, antisemitic incidents have been occurring on a dramatic scale since the Gaza war began in 2023, with 8,725 cases reported last year — more than three times the number in 2022, or around 24 every day.
Earlier in the day, Merz nominated Ilse Aigner, the speaker of the Bavarian state parliament, as the conservative bloc's candidate for federal president; if elected, she would become Germany's first female head of state.
