The West German publication Staatsschutz has reported that many Jewish businessmen have recently received letters containing threats and anti-Semitic slurs. According to the publication, the letters were moiled mostly to Jewish personalities in Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. Jewish institutions and households in West Germany have been maintaining a low profile in an apparent attempt to avoid exposing themselves to criticism and to violence. One major Jewish institution in Frankfurt removed its sign from the front of its building. Similarly, mezuzahs were removed from the doorposts of a number of Jewish homes.
