The analysis focuses secondly on the increasingly close relations between these two religious communities and the Federal State, from both a qualitative and quantitative point of view. Finally, the issue of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in current German society is addressed, as well as interreligious dialogue between Judaism and Islam, and the evolution of Jewish and Muslim identities in Germany. Do Jews and Muslims in Germany consider themselves as German Jews and Muslims, or as Germans of Jewish and Muslim faith? In other words, have young Jews relinquished the Jewish identity inherited from the Holocaust, and do the second and third generations of Muslims remain prisoners of their grandparents’identity, or have they liberated themselves from it?
