“Action Spider”: surveillance of Jewish citizens

Under the State Security’s “Action Spider,” around 20,000 Jews and people linked to Jewish or Israeli organisations were secretly registered and monitored as supposed “Zionist elements.” The programme, running until 1989, institutionalised antisemitism within state security policy and contributed to discrimination, intimidation and restrictions on civic participation.
