Good news: Germans don skullcaps to protest anti-Semitism

From the article:

Germans of various faiths donned Jewish skullcaps and took to the streets in several cities to protest an anti-Semitic attack in Berlin and express fears about growing hatred of Jews in the country.

And:

More than 2,000 people — Jews, Christians, Muslims and atheists — put on kippas in a show of solidarity in Berlin.
