As antisemitism surges globally, the lessons of history are more important than ever. At American Jewish Committee (AJC), we recognize the pivotal role of Nostra Aetate — the 1965 Vatican declaration that revolutionized Catholic-Jewish relations by rejecting antisemitism, affirming Judaism’s eternal covenant with God, and building new bridges of understanding.

This video traces AJC’s leadership — from helping inspire change at the Second Vatican Council, to decades of strengthening Jewish-Christian ties, promoting interfaith education, and combating hatred together.

Through groundbreaking initiatives like Translate Hate: Catholic Edition, and ongoing engagement with the Vatican and global Catholic leaders, AJC continues to advance the spirit of Nostra Aetate today and into the future.

Learn how history inspires action — and how together, we can defeat the world’s oldest hatred.
