“We know of many at HHU who have been directly affected to a greater or lesser extent by the terrible events,” says HHU President, Professor Dr Anja Steinbeck. “Jewish people in particular are anxious as a result of the current calls for violence against them. Everyone who needs help, advice or counselling will find appropriate support at HHU. In this regard, I would like to emphasise: We will not tolerate violence, either verbal or physical, nor will we tolerate anti-Semitism or racism of any kind. This must be clear to everyone who has dealings with HHU, expresses an opinion at the University or enters our campus.”
Anyone who feels unsafe on campus can make use of the accompaniment service offered by security staff. Please call the service point in building 26.11.00.23 on +49 211 81-11666 or send an e-mail to .
