ADL

Abraham 'Abe' Foxman, who survived the Holocaust as a child hidden by his Polish Catholic nanny and later led the Anti-Defamation League from 1987 to 2015, died in Manhattan at the age of 86. Foxman devoted his career to fighting antisemitism and defending the State of Israel, a mission that was 'deeply personal' given his survival of Nazi-occupied Europe. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt eulogized him as 'a moral voice, a passionate advocate for the Jewish people and the State of Israel.'
