North Rhine-Westphalia's Commissioner for Combating Anti-Semitism, Jewish Life and the Culture of Remembrance

The state government strongly condemns all forms of anti-Semitism and, with the office of North Rhine-Westphalia's Commissioner for Combating Anti-Semitism, Jewish Life and the Culture of Remembrance, is sending out a strong political and structural signal to combat and prevent anti-Semitism as best as possible and to strengthen Jewish life and the culture of remembrance.

Former Minister of State Sylvia Löhrmann has been the state commissioner since 1.

Former State Minister of Justice Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger was the first North Rhine-Westphalian Commissioner for Combating Anti-Semitism, Jewish Life and Culture of Remembrance since November 6, 2018.

The North Rhine-Westphalia Commissioner for Combating Anti-Semitism, Jewish Life and the Culture of Remembrance coordinates preventative measures to combat anti-Semitism and acts as a point of contact for those affected and victims of anti-Semitic acts and incidents. She also submits an annual report on her work to the state parliament, in which she recommends measures to combat anti-Semitism.

A particular focus of the work of the North Rhine-Westphalia Commissioner for Combating Anti-Semitism, Jewish Life and the Culture of Remembrance lies in the areas of information, education and encounters. Making Jewish life visible and tangible in all its diversity and actively practicing a culture of remembrance can make valuable contributions in the fight against anti-Semitism.
