German citizenship test now includes questions on Jews and Israel

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced that the German citizenship exam will now cover topics on Israel, Jewish history, and culture.

The aim is to prevent antisemites and radicals from obtaining citizenship.

"Those who don't share our values won't become German citizens. We must draw a clear line. Antisemitism, racism, and other forms of hatred toward humanity won't grant you a passport," the minister stated, as reported by JNS.

The exam database contains 300 questions, with 33 randomly selected for each test. To pass, applicants must answer 17 questions correctly. Sample questions may include identifying the name of a Jewish prayer house and understanding how Holocaust denial is penalized in Germany.

Additional questions may cover topics such as the establishment of the state of Israel and Germany's unique responsibility toward the Jewish state.
