(JEWISH GROUP) Germany: State antisemitism commissioner's house attacked
A property belonging to the German state of Brandenburg's antisemitismcommissioner was on Sunday targeted in a suspected arson attack.
The commissioner, Andreas Büttner, posted about the fire on his X account, saying his family had been home at 03:40 am CET — the time the fire broke out — while also thanking police and the fire brigades in his town of Templin, located some 70 kilometers (43 miles) to Berlin's north.
"We are physically not injured, but are shaken by a serious attack," said Büttner. He went on to say that the fire was directed at him personally, his family and his home.
"It is the expression of hate and intimidation," he wrote, adding he will not be intimidated.
