Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said authorities would &#8221;do everything to bring the perpetrator to justice.&#8221; Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer on Sunday ordered increased police surveillance of all Jewish institutions after a Jewish leader Elie Rosen was attacked. Rosen, Jewish community president in Austria&#8217;s second-largest city, Graz, in Styria province, told Germany&#8217;s dpa news agency the silent assailant first swung a wooden club, without striking him on Saturday evening, and then struck his car heavily as he drove away. The attack took place a day after the windows of Graz&#8217;s synagogue were damaged.<\/p>\n<p>Last Tuesday night, slogans were sprayed on the synagogue and nearby community center, said Rosen, adding Saturday&#8217;s assailant resembled a person in previous surveillance footage. On Twitter, Chancellor Kurz said he was shocked over the incidents and insisted &#8221;everything&#8221; would be done to bring the elusive perpetrator to justice. Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen tweeted: &#8221;Hatred of Jews and Anti-Semitism has no place in our society.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Austrian police said connections in the recent Graz incidents &#8221;seem obvious.&#8221; A report published last May by the Jewish Community of Vienna and Forum against Antisemitism itemized 550 anti-Semitic incidents across Austria in 2019. That represented a 9.5% increase in incidents recorded in 2017. Vienna&#8217;s Catholic Archbishop Christoph Sch\u00f6nborn tweeted: &#8221;The repeated attacks on the Graz Synagogue shocks me.\u2002My first thought is for Mr. Rosen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/attack-on-austrian-jewish-leader-denounced\/a-54666240\">DW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Austrian politicians have spoken out after the head of Graz&#8217;s Jewish community was attacked with a wooden club.
