American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, and the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France (CRIF), the organization representing Europe’s largest Jewish community, today announced the signing of a new partnership agreement, formalized in Paris on the occasion of the CRIF’s 40th annual Dinner, to deepen transatlantic coordination in combating antisemitism and defending democratic values.
Antisemitism has been called the world’s oldest hatred. It is a tangible threat not only to Jews, but also to the very fabric of democratic societies.
We agree with the European Commission's assertion that “Europe can only prosper when its Jewish communities prosper too.”
The shocking rise of antisemitism in Europe is relevant for all of Diaspora Jewry. American Jewish Committee (AJC) will never give up on the Jews in Europe—or anywhere else. We will continue to work toward a world free of anti-Jewish hate.
With offices in Berlin, Brussels, Paris, and Warsaw, and representatives in Prague, Rome, and Sofia, AJC Europe’s strategic, on-the-ground presence allows us to help shape and impact policy at the highest levels. You can learn more at AJC.org/Europe.
