Max Privorozki

Max Privorozki, 62, is the head of the State Association of Jewish Communities in Saxony-Anhalt and the chairman of the Jewish Community in Halle. He is a prominent figure in the Jewish community, particularly known for his leadership during challenging times, including a harrowing incident in 2019 when an extremist attempted to attack the synagogue in Halle during Yom Kippur, resulting in the tragic loss of two lives. Originally from Ukraine, Privorozki continues to advocate for Jewish life in Germany, balancing the celebration of cultural traditions, such as Chanukka, with the ongoing threat of antisemitism.
