Berlin - A US Jewish leader yesterday said thousands of Jews arriving in Germany from eastern Europe would help to guard against far-right extremism in the country.
Mr David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), said at a ceremony to open the council's first office in Germany since the Nazi era that Germany had the world's fastest-growing Jewish community. In the last eight years, the Jewish community in Germany has more than doubled to 100,000, he said.
