Kippah

"It's dangerous to wear a kippah in Berlin." A young man heard this from his friend, so he wore one near his home in Berlin to see if it was true. Here's the BBC account:

"German police are investigating an assault on two young men in Berlin, in which the attacker was filmed shouting anti-Semitic abuse. The men say they were harassed in the Prenzlauer Berg area on Monday while wearing Jewish skullcaps (kippahs).

"A video of the incident, which was later shared on Facebook, shows the attacker hitting the men with his belt. He is heard shouting “Yahudi,” an Arabic word for Jew, before being dragged away by another man."
