Controversy
In 2008 the Ça Ira publishing house was excluded . In 2016 the city of Nuremberg banned the Western Wall exhibition of workers' photography, which did not want to raise the suspicion that it was giving space to anti-Semitic messages in its houses. Nevertheless, the organizers of the Left Literature Fair were criticized by the Israeli daily newspaper The Times of Israel for dealing with “left anti-Semitism” .
