See: Anti-Semitic violence in German capital soared over 2018 (i24 News, link):
"The prior year, only seven violent crimes with an anti-Semitic background were registered in Berlin, out of a total of 305 incidents. The majority of cases referred to insults, sedition and property damage.
The newly-appointed anti-Semitism officer in Berlin’s prosecutor’s office General Claudia Vanoni, who revealed the statistics, noted that she expects the final figures for 2018 to be higher, as incidents can be reported also weeks after the fact."
