Fear of hate: parents do not give their children Jewish names
Fearing anti-Semitism, Diana Reizman and Avi Toubiana have made a conscious decision: their three daughters should not bear Jewish-sounding names. In this way, parents want to prevent their children from being recognized as Jewish solely because of their name and possibly being hostage. The family has lived in Berlin for more than 20 years, but the sense of security has increasingly changed for them. Openly speaking Hebrew or wearing a Star of David? For parents, this is no longer a matter of course.
