Abe Foxman to step down as ADL director

After almost half a century of service as national director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham Foxman, 73, the scourge of anti-Semites and other racists, announces he is retiring in July 2015. He was born in the Soviet Union, survived the Holocaust as a hidden child and moved to the United States with his parents. The ADL has 30 regional offices in the United States and one in Israel.
