BERLIN, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ American Jewish Committee (AJC) Berlin welcomes FC Bayern Munich s adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism. Today s announcement coincides with International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We warmly welcome this decision by FC Bayern Munich, the nationally and internationally renowned German soccer club, to take a clear stance against antisemitism, said Dr. Remko Leemhuis, Director of AJC Berlin. Soccer clubs have great influence in German society. FC Bayern has long been known for its commitment to combating antisemitism, and is a role model in professional sports. Other amateur and professional clubs should follow FC Bayern Munich s example and, together, send a clear message against antisemitism in sports and elsewhere throughout Germany.
