‘Go to Auschwitz’: Former German Jewish student president sent antisemitic death threats



The former president of the Jewish Student Union of Germany (JSUD), Hanna Veiler, received a four-page antisemitic letter and graphic death threat, she told The Jerusalem Post over the weekend.

The letter, which was shared with the Post, begins with a note that reads, “Oh Hanna, you are a very sweet Judensau, let’s go to Auschwitz and have a party for a happy holocaust.” It then adds, “Oh Hanna, I want to f*** you for three nights long.”

This is then followed by a handwritten “Heil Hitler!” Nazi salute, and a joke that reads, “Why did Jews like going to Auschwitz so much? Because the trip was free.”

The letter consisted of four pages of a mostly incoherent diatribe about “propaganda” schemes by “cunning Jew,” with multiple other antisemitic dog whistles such as “charming swindlers.”

“International financial Jews like [Heinz] Berggruen pride themselves on paying no taxes anywhere while conducting million-dollar deals across the globe,” it read at one point.

“That’s how our Jews are, as they’ve always been: Deceitful, greedy, and in every sense antisocial, like vile parasites,” the letter read.

Veiler blamed Germany’s Right

There are also pictures of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Adolf Hitler.

Veiler wrote on Instagram that the letter had been sent to the student organization’s Berlin office. She told Jewish News that she stopped reading the letter as soon as she understood its content, and instead turned it over to the police.

She also told Jewish News that she received another similar letter a year before, containing threats about sending her to the gas chambers.

“Every time this happens, I question whether I should make it public or not,” Veiler wrote on Instagram. “I don‘t want anyone to believe that I am weak or scared or anything more than a victim of antisemitic hatred. But this has been my reality of life for over two years.”

“Everyone, Jewish or not, who dares to speak out for the Jewish people publicly is facing this,” she added.

Veiler blamed Germany’s Right, especially the Alternative for Germany party, for the rise in the country’s antisemitism.

She also criticized “everyone who believes that right-wing antisemitism was not a thing in Germany, and that the threat is only emanating from the Left or migrant communities.”

About Sentinel

SENTINEL is a European project funded by the European Commission and led by the Security and Crisis Centre (SACC by EJC), the security arm of the European Jewish Congress. It brings together the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), national-level Jewish communities from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, and Spain, the European Union of Jewish Students, with the support of the Italian Carabinieri and the Police Presidium of the Czech Republic.

The project is designed to strengthen the protection of Jewish places of worship across the European Union through a coordinated set of activities over a three-year period.

SENTINEL will harness AI-enhanced open-source intelligence to monitor and assess current, emerging, and future threats. It will also equip Jewish communities with practical tools, including a mobile security application with a panic button and an interactive map built on real-time incident data.

Training and capacity-building are at the core of the project. These include scenario-based security exercises, crisis management seminars, and both in-person and online training sessions for community security trustees. SENTINEL will also organise EU-wide and local conferences to foster collaboration between Jewish communities, public authorities, and law enforcement agencies.

Complementing these efforts, national and local workshops will promote knowledge-sharing and preparedness, alongside pilot training programmes for law enforcement. A dedicated podcast series will help raise awareness by exploring threat assessments and potential responses.

With its wide-reaching and inclusive approach, SENTINEL will directly benefit to Jewish communities across 23 EU Member States, enhancing resilience, strengthening preparedness, and building long-term cooperation with law enforcement to meet today’s evolving security challenges.
