Description: "The American Jewish Committee (AJC), founded by leading American Jews in 1906 in the wake of devastating anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia, has a mission to protect "the civil and religious rights of Jews" in the United States and around the world. Today, along with the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Congress, the AJC is considered one of the "Big Three" among American Jewish organizations. AJC has been called a "think-tank" and a "Jewish State Department," tlle latter being a reference to its high level of activity in the international diplomatic arena on behalf of Israel and Jews in distress throughout the world."--BOOK JACKET.
