The Anne Frank Trust UK is alarmed by the findings of the CST’s newly released 2025 Antisemitic Incidents Report, which shows a deeply troubling rise in antisemitism across the country. The scale and severity of the incidents recorded reflect a climate in which too many Jewish people are facing fear, hostility, and discrimination in their daily lives.

Antisemitism does not begin with violence. It begins with prejudice, misinformation, and the dehumanisation of others. Our thoughts are with every individual and family affected by antisemitic incidents this year.

At the Anne Frank Trust, we see every day that education is one of the most powerful tools we have to counter antisemitism. Our latest Impact Data showed 64.6% of young people progressed in their attitudes towards Jewish people and 82.8% felt confident to challenge prejudice as a result of taking part in our programmes.

Our work with young people gives them the confidence to stand up to antisemitism and all forms of hatred. The alarming findings of the CST report reinforce just how vital that work is.
