Abstract:
Describes problems of integration of Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union in German society and in the Jewish communities. Although the number of these immigrants is negligible in relation to the German population, Germans feel they are being overrun. Center parties attempt (vainly) to attract voters by adopting the anti-immigrant stance of the right-wing parties. The media present purportedly sympathetic but actually stereotypical and folkloristic images of Jews, or seize on conflicts and scandals in the Jewish community. Immigrant absorption and employment agencies discriminate between ethnic German and Jewish immigrants.
