    Austrian Jews fear rise in anti-Semitism with migrant influx

    German Jews' concerns of a migrant influx was echoed on Monday by the Jewish Community organization (IKG) in neighboring Austria, another key country on the migrant trail facing a record number of asylum seekers this year.

    "The question is how many refugees can a country accept. We have reached the end of our capacities," IKG president Oskar Deutsch told journalists in Vienna on Monday.

    He also warned of the risk of growing anti-Semitism as many of the migrants came from Middle Eastern countries.
