For the Congressional Caucus on Black-Jewish Relations Round-table Discussion: “Where do we go from here? How the Black and Jewish Communities Can Collectively Dismantle Racism”
In the wake of the unprecedented tragedy of the Holocaust, it was anything but obvious that a Jewish group would seek to engage postwar Germany. But that’s exactly what American Jewish Committee (AJC), alone among global Jewish organizations, did.
Europe’s rich Jewish history is also an ongoing obligation to assure the trust of Jewish citizens and communities, a responsibility society as a whole must uphold. Therefore, the American Jewish Committee New York Regional Office and the Consulate General of Germany collaborate to build trust in one another and jointly advocate against hate and antisemitism.
The joint initiative by American Jewish Committee (AJC) and The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) calls on mayors across the country about the need to combat antisemitism.
