The Anti-Defamation League has a new regional leader in Needham's
Derrek Shulman, and it remains to be seen whether this will change
how folks see the organization.
As for the controversy last year involving the national ADL's
position on the Armenian Genocide, Shulman directed such questions to
Kappel. Last summer, the national director, Abraham Foxman, called the
"consequences" of the World War I-era murder of 1.5 million Armenians
at the hands of the Ottoman Empire "tantamount to genocide," a position
local Armenian-Americans felt fell short of full acknowledgement.
