JOURNEY TO JUSTICE

‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.’ – from Edmund Burke

As we, the Anti-Defamation League’s National Chair and National Director, thought about our comments surrounding this Annual Report commemorating the tremendous accomplishments of ADL over 100 years, we were aware of the different perspectives we bring to the subject.

For me, Abraham Foxman, a survivor of the Holocaust, an individual first exposed to America when anti-Semitism was still a given in society and when segregation still tainted American democracy, I think of the contrast of what was and how far we have progressed.

For me, Barry Curtiss-Lusher, born in America and growing up in the era of the civil rights revolution and full Jewish acceptance in society, I think first about how fortunate we are to live in this country at this time.

Whatever our different personal histories, we share a pride in the role that ADL has played over the past century to make America a better place, for Jews and all people. This Annual Report provides a look into that remarkable link between the work of an organization and the progress of the larger society.

What we also share is a belief that with all the remarkable progress we have made and witnessed, there are immense challenges ahead. As we celebrate, we are aware that anti-Semitism has re-emerged around the world with a fury; that Iran and other haters of Israel have not given up on their goal of delegitimizing and even destroying the Jewish state; that hate on the Internet and social media provide new opportunities for those who wish to harm minorities; that extremism and terrorism continue to metamorphose into new and dangerous forms; and that incivility and polarization present new threats to the well-being of our democratic institutions.

And finally, we share the belief that just as ADL succeeded in helping America overcome huge challenges in the past, the future will also see ADL continuing its role as a voice, as a conscience, as an educator to overcome new manifestations of hatred.

As we celebrate the past, we are optimistic about the future.

Toward Justice for All 32 2012 ADL Annual Report

Imagine a world where you are frequently scapegoated. Often the butt of dehumanizing jokes. Restricted from buying a home in certain communities, attending certain schools and working in certain industries. Sometimes threatened and attacked.

And the reason is because others see you as different.

This was America in 1913 when the Anti-Defamation League was founded. While the nation was a land of freedom and opportunity, Jews, blacks, women and immigrants were not treated as equal citizens, did not feel respected and were even afraid to speak out for themselves.

Now, 100 years later, America is a more inclusive country—in no small part because of the Anti-Defamation League’s efforts.

Our work has never been easy, and this Annual Report focuses on the progress of some of our critical issues over the decades.

At our founding, bigotry and hate were part of mainstream society. Automotive pioneer Henry

Ford, the revered figure who put average Americans in their first cars, also introduced them to the lie that Jews were trying to take over the world, and labeled Jews “the world’s foremost problem.”

A U.S. Army manual from World War I termed Jews “slackers” and “war profiteers.”

Hidden under the hoods of the Ku Klux Klan, ministers, sheriffs and policemen attacked and killed blacks, Jews and immigrants with impunity.

ADL’s first efforts focused on helping Jews because our founders knew from history where the dehumanizing of Jews could lead. ADL worked to prove to government and business leaders that it was contrary to American ideals to scapegoat Jews and demean them.

To counteract the lies being spread by people like Mr. Ford, ADL organized study groups and established a speakers’ bureau for disseminating facts about Jews to ordinary Americans.

We also began “fact-finding”: monitoring and exposing dangerous haters and extremists.

ADL fought back against the most egregious forms of hate and gradually helped improve public perception of Jews. World War II was a turning point, both for the nation and for ADL. The Holocaust revealed with shocking clarity what extreme prejudice could do. Here in the U.S., African Americans who risked their lives in the war while enduring discrimination began fighting for equal rights. For many people, bigotry and hate were now intolerable.

Responding to this new climate, ADL expanded its efforts to fight not only for the rights of Jews, but for the rights of all in this country who faced persecution and unfair treatment. We became a key member and leader of coalitions which, after decades of effort, helped pass landmark legislation unmasking the Ku Klux Klan, outlawing voting discrimination and making hate crimes punishable with stiffer penalties.

We exposed the secret quota system colleges used to limit the number of Jewish students, and advocated for schools to lift those quotas. Similarly, we fought discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations.

Aided by our efforts, American Jews became the freest Jewish community in the world. Conscious of this new status, ADL felt a profound responsibility to help other marginalized groups and Jewish communities overseas. By establishing foreign offices and an International Affairs Division at our National Headquarters, we became a voice for fairness throughout the

world, building relationships with governments and non-governmental organizations alike.

At home, we strengthened our efforts to protect religious freedom and expanded our work teaching children and adults to reject bias. This work goes on today, making schools and communities more welcoming.

ADL is now the “911” for Jews who feel threatened. Just as important, we are champions of fair treatment for Latinos in the U.S., Asian Americans, African Americans, Muslim Americans, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community—indeed, for anyone who is perceived as being different. Our holistic approach to combating hate involves legislation, litigation, education and advocacy. We know the key figures to talk to, and they know and respect us for our expertise fighting hate.

Unfortunately, our work is far from finished. Global Islamic extremism is one of the greatest threats we face, but ADL is monitoring it in the original Arabic and Farsi and speaking out against it. Our work with law enforcement helps fight extremism, hate crimes and terrorism. In Europe, where hate has made a comeback through extreme right-wing parties, we are urging world leaders to check their vitriol. Moreover, we are working with the leading Internet companies to address the spread of viral hate on their sites, and addressing the epidemic of bullying through education programs for youth, parents, educators and law enforcement.

ADL invites you to imagine a world without hate and help us build it. Our goal for the next 100 years is no less than this: to secure justice and fair treatment for all.

The story of ADL’s 100 years is the story of America, the story of the American Jewish community and the story of an organization.

ANTI-SEmITISmIt is not acceptable to be an anti-Semite in America today. This is an enormous change from ADL’s early years, when anti-Semitism was part of daily life—limiting where Jews could live, attend school, work and feel safe.

Consider these markers of change: According to ADL’s latest annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, the number in the U.S. declined recently by 13 percent. In 2012, Emory University apologized for blatant anti-Semitism that took place at its dental school from 1948 to 1960, which ADL helped expose.

The situation is entirely different internationally. ADL’s 2012 poll of Europe reveals dangerously high levels of anti-Semitism in some countries, while our monitoring shows that Arab and Muslim anti-Semitism is uglier than ever. But because of ADL’s ongoing work, the tools and partners are there to keep fighting back.

For instance, in 2012, French President François Hollande condemned anti-Semitism and helped protect Jews against a new wave of attacks, following years of our work with French government officials to stand up to anti-Semitism in their country. In Hungary, where ADL found anti-Semitic attitudes among a disturbing 63 percent of the population, the Hungarian prime minister condemned anti-Semitic remarks made in its parliament after ADL and others spoke out against them. The New York Times quoted ADL in a front-page story on the anti-Semitic statements of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Moreover, ADL presented recommendations to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe for how its 56 member states can act to combat anti-Semitism, hate crime and discrimination. And we testified before Congressional committees about global anti-Semitism and helped train U.S. diplomats to report it more effectively.

Slurs and discrimination used to permeate American culture. Now that behavior isn’t acceptable.

That’s due in no small part to ADL, because we fought for decades to change how the media depicts different groups, how the law protects them and what schools teach about the importance of respecting everyone. Our education programs have now reached 58 million people nationwide with this message.

Yet our work is not finished. Bigots today have new targets and new ways to communicate.

Just last year, ADL expressed concern that Twitter was becoming the Internet’s distribution platform of choice for bigots, and called on the social networking site to re-evaluate its standards and practices. We opposed harsh anti-immigrant laws in five states, and submitted an amicus brief in a Supreme Court challenge to Arizona’s law. When we argued in an amicus brief that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional because it enshrines one particular religious viewpoint into law, the appellate court agreed. That case went before the U.S. Supreme Court—where we also submitted an amicus brief.

ADL believes that when any group is marginalized, it’s a threat to all.

Toward Justice for All 98 2012 ADL Annual Report

The Anti-Defamation League was founded just before one of the most notorious anti-Semitic hate crimes in American history: the lynching of Atlanta Jewish businessman Leo Frank in Marietta, Georgia. Some of the murderers were law enforcement officials and prominent citizens, but no one was ever indicted for the murder.

One measure of how far we’ve come since then is the recent prosecution of six individuals for a series of racially motivated assaults against African Americans, including the murder of James Craig Anderson, in Jackson, Mississippi—a state with a tragic history of racial violence. After coordinated state and federal investigations, in 2012 these crimes led to hate crime charges under provisions of the new federal Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA).

That law is a direct result of ADL’s leadership. To address hate violence, the League crafted model hate crime legislation in 1981. Laws similar to it have now been enacted by 45 states and the District of Columbia, and by the federal government. For more than 13 years, the League led a broad coalition of groups to enact the HCPA, a crucial update of federal law, which was signed by the president in 2009.

Because of ADL, law enforcement officials and civic leaders now understand the nature and magnitude of hate violence—and, more importantly, have the tools to prosecute crimes motivated by hate to the full extent of the law.

BUllYINgAt a program organized by ADL in 2012, a high school student named Michelle told a group of students how being demeaned, threatened physically and ostracized during middle school nearly destroyed her. One of the students was so stricken, she apologized in front of the whole group for witnessing the bullying but not speaking out. Later, several other students apologized to Michelle privately. “It meant the world to me,” she said.

Bullying used to mean getting beaten up by someone more powerful. Now it is often verbal cruelty amplified by technology.

Today, with ADL’s help, bullying is no longer written off as a rite of passage. It inhibits learning, damages self-esteem and may even be a factor in suicide. We’ve led the fight against it through a comprehensive approach that encompasses both legislation and education, and is carried out on the local level by our Regional Offices.

Our interactive education programs teach empathy for targets as well as effective responses and prevention to millions of students, educators, parents, legislators, members of law enforcement and communities.

We are an important force behind groundbreaking anti-bullying laws, such as those passed by the District of Columbia, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, where our model anti-bullying statute served as a touchstone.

We’ve led the fight against bullying with a holistic approach that includes both legislation

and education, locally and nationally.Credit: Frances M. Roberts

RElIgIOUS FREEdOmReligion in our nation flourishes because of the U.S. Constitution’s separation of government and religion. It allows Americans to freely practice their different faiths— or choose not to practice any faith—without government interference, endorsement or support.

Over the years, ADL has sought to preserve this separation so that no one in this diverse country feels like an outsider. We worked to ensure that our nation’s public schools curb government-sponsored prayer and indoctrination in the classroom. We’ve repeatedly opposed government efforts to fund and support parochial schools and sectarian charities that hire and fire based on religion. And our advocacy has expanded accommodations for minority faiths in public schools, as well as public and private workplaces.

ADL is ever-vigilant. In 2012 we advised the presidential candidates to keep religious appeals out of the campaign by issuing a statement of principles on religion in political campaigns signed by some of the nation’s leading religious institutions and organizations. We vigorously opposed a Florida bill to allow prayer at school-sponsored K-12 assemblies and events. In the same state, we successfully urged a “no” vote on an amendment to the state constitution that would have used taxpayer dollars to fund houses of worship. And we were a strong voice defending the right of Muslims to build houses of worship and counseling against unnecessary anti-Sharia legislation.

With the nation rapidly growing more diverse, respect for all faiths, or no faith, is more important than ever.

In America, different religions flourish, and ADL helps protect that right.Credit: Jason Redmond/Reuters

ADL experts today use sophisticated databases and inventories to keep track of nearly 1,000 extremist groups and more than 8,000 individual extremists.

In ADL’s early years, when extremists such as the Ku Klux Klan and U.S. groups tied to Nazi Germany had large followings, we developed a system of gathering and analyzing public information to fight back. Armed with this data on domestic extremists, we discredited their ideas and helped law enforcement do its work.

Now that we’re an international organization, we apply the same techniques to threats from abroad and from cyberspace. Last year, after ADL revealed that Apple’s iTunes service was providing access to content from al-Manar, Hezbollah’s satellite television station, the Lebanese-based terrorist organization blamed ADL for Apple’s decision to remove its content. When the first-ever version of the Talmud was published in Arabic, we translated the introduction and, finding anti-Semitism, called for action against it. We also exposed the Twitter accounts of seven foreign terrorist organizations, including Hamas and a Somali Al Qaeda affiliate known as al Shabaab.

Domestically, we exposed efforts by international terror groups to recruit Americans. We reported on the often-overlooked but still troubling incidence of anti-abortion violence. Additionally, information from an ADL investigative researcher led to the re-opening of a multiple murder investigation and subsequent indictments—13 years after the brutal crimes were committed by white supremacists.

Law enforcement turns to ADL when extremism strikes. When they need critical information quickly, we are a trusted source.

At ADL’s founding in 1913, the State of Israel did not exist. Today it is a vibrant multicultural democracy in the Middle East, a world leader in high-tech, medical discoveries and agricultural innovation, a key U.S. ally and home to nearly one-half the Jews in the world.

What has not changed are the continuing threats to Israel’s legitimacy, and even its existence. Since its founding in 1948, an important part of ADL’s mission has been exposing, speaking out against and trying to prevent threats from harming the Jewish state.

One example: when Arab countries tried to strangle the new State of Israel with an economic boycott, ADL spearheaded a long effort against it. First we shamed American companies supporting the boycott, then we advocated for a law prohibiting companies from complying with it. Congress passed the law in 1977. The boycott lost its force.

Today ADL’s Arabic and Farsi-speaking analysts are translating anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic media from the Muslim world—much of it government-controlled —and speaking out against it as an obstacle to peace.

We also engage in innovative proactive advocacy. Every year we conduct special missions for influential groups including Catholic-school educators, dynamic college students and Latinos: the fastest-growing group in America. In all, we have brought almost 100 Latinos to Israel, including media executives, prominent civil rights leaders, elected officials, journalists and community leaders.

Demystifying Israel for these groups enhances their understanding of this complex part of the world and clarifies the threats to Israel.

lAw ENFORCEmENT ANd SECURITYFor many years, domestic extremists were largely responsible for terrorist attacks in the U.S.

That changed dramatically on September 11, 2001, when the nation was rocked by international terror. ADL expanded our training programs to share our information about international extremists, along with data from outside experts, with senior members of law enforcement around the country.

Today ADL is the leading nongovernment trainer of law enforcement, training more than 10,000 officers and agents in 2012 alone. Senior law enforcement officers who participate in our Advanced Training School course on Extremist and Terrorist Threats, or our National Counter-Terrorism Seminar in Israel, receive current information about haters and counterterrorism techniques to help them do their jobs.

To increase understanding of the role of law enforcement as protectors of the Constitution and individual rights, we offer Law Enforcement and Society, a joint program of ADL and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum that examines the Holocaust and the conduct of police under the Nazis. More than 80,000 law enforcement professionals have taken it so far.

In addition, ADL routinely provides timely alerts and intelligence about extremist activities, and assists with criminal investigations. We use our expertise and information to help law enforcement investigate threats, identify suspects and convict extremist perpetrators. ADL calls these efforts “law enforcement assists,” and we conducted about 450 of them in 2012.

Finally, we are a security resource for Jewish institutions, providing guidance, tools and training. With ADL’s help, synagogues and community centers are trained to be more proactive about security.

and hate crimes.Credit: Anthony Behar/Sipa USA/AP

HOlOCAUST EdUCATIONADL strives to ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten or repeated. We do this through our own curricula, resources and special programming.

To help teachers transmit the lessons of the Holocaust, we offer Echoes and Reflections—Holocaust Education for 21st Century Classrooms, developed by ADL, USC Shoah Foundation and Yad Vashem. It provides everything teachers need to help today’s students relate to what happened, from first-person narratives to historical photos, lesson plans and handouts. So far the program has reached more than 17,000 educators, who reach many times that number of students.

We also have a life-changing program for teens. Every year, ADL takes a select group of student leaders through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, then teaches them to address bigotry and bias where they live. Typical responses to the ADL Grosfeld Family National Youth Leadership Mission are like this one from a 2012 participant: “My perspective on the world has taken on a completely different lens, and I will do anything to change what I can in my community.”

Students and others learn from us why it’s important to stop hate.Credit: Mary Ann Gatty

INTERFAITHIn past centuries, Christians saw Jews as cursed for not accepting Jesus Christ as their savior. Today, Christians and Jews are in an era of positive dialogue.

A turning point occurred in the 1960s, when ADL commissioned a team of researchers at the University of California to conduct a seminal investigation of anti-Semitism. After the study found a strong link between Church teachings and persecution of Jews, ADL worked closely with Vatican officials to help develop the document that ultimately became Nostra Aetate: the historic 1965 statement that repudiates the charge of Jewish responsibility for the death of Jesus, denounces anti-Semitism, dismisses Catholic missionizing of Jews and affirms God’s irrevocable covenant with the Jewish people.

To help these changes reach the next generation of Catholics, ADL created the Bearing Witness™ program. It gives Catholic- school educators the understanding, skills and resources to teach students about anti-Semitism, the Holocaust and the new, positive Catholic teachings about Judaism.

ADL continues to build bridges to other faiths, including mainline Protestants, Evangelicals and Muslims. Three years ago, we formed the Interfaith Coalition on Mosques (ICOM) comprised of different faiths who fight for the rights of Muslims. In 2012, ICOM called for a complete investigation of a suspicious fire that destroyed a mosque in Joplin, Missouri. We filed an amicus brief on behalf of a community seeking to build a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, then welcomed the judge’s decision clearing the way for its completion.

After the deadly attack on Sikhs in Wisconsin, ADL offered security resources and training to the community, and urged the federal government to include new categories for hate crimes against Sikhs, Hindus and Arabs in its hate crime data collection.

ADL believes that honest dialogue and productive relationships among all faiths can help build a world without hate.
