Oziel Inziv-Shtach

Oziel Inziv-Shtach is a 43-year-old Brazilian Jewish teacher who moved to Berlin in 2010. He has faced significant challenges while teaching at the 'Karl Bula' elementary school in the immigrant neighborhood of Moabit, where 95% of the students come from migrant families. After years of concealing his Jewish and gay identity, he publicly came out about his sexual orientation, which led to severe backlash from some students and a hostile environment. Despite his efforts to educate students on various subjects, including tolerance and diversity, he experienced harassment and threats at school, which ultimately resulted in him taking medical leave due to PTSD. His story has garnered media attention, highlighting the struggles of teachers in multicultural settings.
