No more then other country's like America, Britain etc. Iv been there and they are incredibly ashamed of that part of their history. In Germany it is actually an arrestible offense to claim that the holocaust never happened.

Hope this helps.

Maja Besser-Ossi

First of all you should post this in the section history this not the right place.

I hope you learned reading too

In Germany there is a lot less racism than in the USA or the UK to answer your question.
Most of the problems with far right extremists in Germany is happening in the Eastern part of te country the former GDR.

Actually like someone already said in the area of the former GDR there is quite an important minority of far right extremists they even have gained seats in regional parliaments.
It is mainly 2 partys NPD and DVU in most Eastern states they obtain around 10% of votes in elections.

I ll join a link with NO go areas unfortunately only in German but the map clearly shows where the problem is.

Maybe in tiny villages with 4 residents, but generally no way.

Not more than in any other given country and considerably less than in the US. We've learned from the past.

"Any" is the problem word here. You can find loads of people with many very freaky views on life and how the world should be in every given place, country, village or public gathering, so, yeah, I guess there still is antisemitism in Germany. The question is: how much of it? Where? And what power does it have? The answers to that are also controversial. There are people who style themselves "Neo-nazis", those do have an outspoken antisemitism going on, and than there are people who style themselves "extremely right wing", and they are not necessarily with antisemitism, but they definitely have something against everybody whose nose they don't like, so...
Antisemitism is not the same as the so called "hate-crimes" (as Turkish or Russian or Armenian or whatever groups can very well also commit a "hate crime" against some other group they don't like), and it's not the same as being in an extremely right organization like the political parties that someone else mentioned.
Nonetheless: There are people with antisemitic views here in Germany. Where they are, and where their majority is... I don't know. Parties with extreme right wing views do have a higher proportion of voters in what was the former east.
The map that someone else provided, with the "no-go-areas", though, is to be taken with a grant of caution. The county I grew up in and still have family living in is marked on there, too. Granted, it is colored with the lighter red and it is one that sits on the very edge, but... The last antisemitic crime committed there was someone defiling gravestones in the old jewish cemetery in our town. That was over 15 years ago, and the whole town protested in outrage for weeks. The only explanation I have that that county is on there is the recent uptake in so called "hate crimes" between rivaling gangs of different nationality. There are German gangs, russian gangs, turkish gangs, Romanian, what have you...
So to answer your question: Yes, there still is antisemitism in Germany. But take a look behind the facades of popular "black/white" statistics. Not all the hate crimes committed in Germany are antisemitic. That doesn't make anything any better, but still.
