Germans of all faiths in 'wear a kippa march' against anti-Semitism
Source: CNN
Thousands of people across Germany marched Wednesday in solidarity with the country's Jewish community amid rising concerns over anti-Semitism.
A day after Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, warned against Jewish men wearing a kippa (skullcap) in public, demonstrators wore the head covering in a gesture of solidarity.
The largest event took place in Berlin, with other demonstrations held across the country in Erfurt, Potsdam and Cologne -- with people of different faiths coming together.
Schuster's remarks came after last week's anti-Semitic attack in Berlin that targeted two men wearing kippas.
According to the latest figures published by the Interior Ministry, there were 1,468 anti-Semitic attacks carried out in Germany in 2016.
