Universities across Germany were hit by a bizarre antisemitic cyber-attack last week.

Printers and photocopiers on college campuses began spontaneously pumping out antisemitic leaflets.

The German-language flyers contained a quotation from Mein Kampf and accused Jews of engineering the European refugee crisis.

The universities affected included Hamburg, Bonn, Münster, Lüneburg, Bremen, Tübingen and Erlangen-Nürnberg. The spokesperson for the Jewish Society at the University of Bonn told the newspaper General Anzeiger: "​Just imagine sitting in your university and suddenly, dozens of antisemitic fliers with hate speech fly out of the printer next to you.

"Your university has usually been a safe place but now you face death threats against you, your family, and your friends, and you can't do anything to stop the attack. On top of that, you find out that your school was one of several in the country that was targeted."
