"Heads-Up, Berlin Wears Kippah" Action Day Against Anti-Semitism

BERLIN, GERMANY - APRIL 29: A visitor wears a kippah, or yarmulke, handed out by volunteers in the Mauerpark public park during a day of demonstrations against antisemitism on April 29, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. Those participating in the event intended to hand out around 10,000 kippahs around the city. The event was one of several in the past week around the country sparked by a recent incident in Berlin in which a Syrian Palestinian man berated and struck with his belt a man wearing such a yarmulke, only blocks away from the Mauerpark kippah distribution demonstration. The kippah-wearer was not Jewish, but an Israeli Arab who wore the kippah when curious what reaction he might receive while walking in Berlin. In 2017 Germany reportedly recorded 1453 criminal offenses related to anti-Semitism, of which 94 percent were attributed to German citizens. (Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images)
