Frequently Asked Questions

ADL In Concert Against Hate is an annual celebration event that began in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust. That first Concert honored the memory of four individuals who are recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations” – non-Jews who rescued Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust. Today, ADL In Concert Against Hate continues to honor ordinary people who perform extraordinary acts of courage and compassion when confronted by antisemitism, hatred and bigotry. Individuals who do not stand by while they or others are the targets of injustice, but instead choose to act.
