PHILADELPHIA — The
last time Benjamin Epstein
and I visited together was at
the American Gathering of
Survivors in Washington.
The first time I cannot re-
call, but from 1966 to 1976
we spent many hours to-
gether to further the work of
the Institute for American
Democracy (IAD).
Ben. Epstein, whose
memorial service was held
May 6 at Temple Emanu-El
in New York, was a depend-
able warrior in the battles
for human rights, liberty
and representative gov-
ernment. For a generation,
especially as national direc-
tor of the Anti-Defamation
League from 1947 to 1978,
he was i'n the forefront of the
fight against anti-
Semitism, racism, leftwing
and rightwing extremism.
