Anti-Semitism Report

Reports on racism and anti-Semitism shed light on related incidents and the conduct of people at large in this area. They flesh out the figures, indicate developments and tendencies and provide information on the ways in which such attitudes are acted out. This makes such reports valuable tools for analysis and prevention.

In Switzerland, various institutions report on anti-Semitic incidents. The SIG creates an report on anti-Semitism for the German speaking part of Switzerland. This contains details of anti-Semitic incidents reported to the SIG and those reported publicly. The CICAD, Coordination Intercommunautaire Contre l'Antisémitisme et la Diffamation (Inter-community co-ordination against anti-Semitism and defamation) publishes a similar report for francophone Switzerland.

World-wide analysis

Each year, the SIG forwards its own views and insights and those of the CICAD to the Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism at the University of Tel Aviv. The latter publishes a world-wide analysis of developments in the field of anti-Semitism plus reports on specific countries.

Besides reports based on recorded incidents, there are alsostudies on anti-Semitism which evaluate and analyse surveys conducted within statistically relevant samples of the population. The last study of this type on anti-Jewish and anti-Israel prejudices in Switzerland was conducted in 2007 by the research institute gfs in Berne.
