The last year has seen a significant increase in anti-Semitism. This is what Giulio De Rita, a CENSIS researcher, discovered after reprocessing the data, which will be illustrated this evening at the Central Synagogue of Milan during "One Year Since the Pogrom - The Drama of the Kidnapped and the New Wave of Anti-Semitism," a commemorative event organized by the Jewish Community of Milan on October 7th. According to CENSIS' reprocessing of data from the Observatory on Anti-Semitism, there are approximately 20 incidences of intolerance towards Jews per month, and they tripled between October 2023 and March 2024. There are around 25,000 Jews in Italy, but only one in ten Italians can estimate their number; 3.5 out of ten Italians tend to overestimate them (10% even around a million), and the remaining 5.5 out of ten Italians say they do not know. According to the research, anti-Semitism is deeply ingrained and severe in Italy, affecting approximately 15% of the population: 13% of Italians do not believe it is crucial for "the new generations to keep the tragedy of the Holocaust in their memory"; 7% deny the Holocaust, while less than half of Italians are aware that Holocaust denial is a crime; 9% would feel uncomfortable working with a Jew (plus 11% who would feel "somewhat" uncomfortable); 10% would never want their daughter to have a love affair with a Jew (plus 16% who would be annoyed). The hostility is a result of certain prejudices, including: 28% of Italians do not consider them fully integrated into Italian society; 27% overestimate the influence of the Jewish community in the country; 27% believe they feel superior to others.
