From the Frontlines: How Does a Turkish Parliamentarian Come to Work for ADL?

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and all forms of hate in the United States and around the world. In this battle, ADL’s efforts are worldwide, including in Turkey. Since the earthquake there that brought so much destruction and loss of life, this is a country that has certainly been on the minds of so many. Dr. Aykan Erdemir is ADL’s Director of International Affairs Research, but he is also a former member of the Turkish Parliament. He joined "From the Frontlines" to talk about his country, its views on Jews and his incredible human rights work then and now.
