{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A new report by Prague's Jewish community has registered a significant increase of cases of harassment and threats against Jews last year.
The annual report on anti-Semitism released Monday says such attacks — including anti-Semitic letters and emails, verbal attacks and harassment in front of Jewish objects — jumped to 37 in 2014 from nine in 2013.
The report says attacks against Jews on the Internet rose to 191 cases compared to 156 the previous year.
