One out of every 4 Europeans has a negative view of Jews, a new survey shows.
The survey, commissioned by the Anti-Defamation League shows that the prevalence of anti-Semitic views in Western Europe has not changed but in Eastern and Central Europe there has been an increase in prejudicial views on Jews.

The survey, which is part of the ADL's Global 100 Index for Anti-Semitism, was conducted between April-June 2019 in many countries around the world.
In Poland, anti-Semitic views are now common among 48% of the general population, compared to 37% in 2015, the survey shows.
About 3 out of every 4 Poles believe, according to the survey that "Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust."
In Hungary, according to the survey, 25% of the general population believe that Jews want to weaken the Hungarian culture by supporting more immigration.
"It is deeply concerning that approximately one in four Europeans harbor the types of anti-Semitic beliefs that have endured since before the Holocaust," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said. He added: "These findings serve as a powerful wake-up call that much work remains to be done to educate broad swaths of the populations in many of these countries to reject bigotry, in addition to addressing the pressing security needs where violent incidents are rising."
