It’s OK to Call Jews “Apes and Pigs” in Sweden
A nation that has historically been tolerant towards minorities, Sweden is now providing a loophole in its anti-hate laws to allow for anti-Semitic rhetoric.

Soccer Under the Swastika
This summer, the World Cup soccer tournament will be held in Germany. Deutschen Fussball-Bundes (DFB), the 106-year-old organization which serves as the soccer authority in Germany, has been criticized for not protecting its Jewish players during Hitler’s regime. Now Germany and the DFB are making efforts to come to terms with their past.

Remembering a Hero to the Jews
Sister Rose Thering was an exceptional Catholic American. Raised in a world filled with Church-spawned anti-Semitism, her life was dedicated to challenging the Vatican's millennia of hateful sentiment toward Jews. Her doctoral thesis influenced the seminal Nostra Aetate, which fundamentally changed the relationships between Jews and Christians.

Provide Hope for Future Generations
It’s generous to consider children and grandchildren in your will, but can that money ensure their safety?
ADL now offers planned giving solutions to make sure the world you leave behind continues to fight against anti-Semitism. There are several endowment options to choose from, and considerable tax advantages make it a winning combination for both you and generations to come.
