NEW YORK—On Tuesday, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) will release its final and complete 2018 data from its annual ”Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents.”

The year-in-review data shows a near-historic surge in incidents and identifies other troubling trends, the ADL said.

‘’In a year marked by the white supremacist shooting spree in Pittsburgh, which claimed 11 lives, and punctuated by a surge in white supremacist activity nationwide, ADL’s annual tally of incidents nationwide found that anti-Semitic assaults, harassment and vandalism are still pervasive in the U.S,’’ the organization stressed ahead of the presentation by  Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO, and Oren Segal, Director of ADL’s Center on Extremism.
