The Anti-Defamation League announced the passing of longtime national director Abraham H. Foxman, one of the world’s most recognized voices in the fight against antisemitism and hate.
Foxman, a Holocaust survivor, dedicated his entire 50 year career to the ADL and became a leading advocate for Jewish communities around the world.
Few realize that Foxman was also the child referenced in the emotional song “The Man from Vilna,” the little boy who was held in place of a Torah scroll during Simchas Torah in 1945 after the Holocaust devastated European Jewry.
May his memory be a blessing.
