AJC today announced that Dr. Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga, President of Latvia (1999-2007), will keynote its gala to launch the AJC Central Europe office on Monday, March 27, at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.
AJC is appalled by a Russian Orthodox Church bishop’s assertion in Moscow that Jews were responsible for the deaths of Czar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, a year after the Bolshevik Revolution.
“This is an important step in the global fight against rising antisemitism — and the broader threat it poses to liberal democratic values,” said AJC CEO David Harris, who has long been interested in Albanian affairs.
American Jewish Committee (AJC) praised British Home Secretary Sajid Javid for initiating action today that will designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization in its entirety.
