The AJC countered anti-Semitism by framing it as anti-American rather than publicizing it

Evidence

In January 1943, a final decision, on the basis of the budget and the new draft, had still not been reached, and the election of a new president of the AJC was due. At the end of the month, Joseph M. Proskauer was elected, and Pollock saw all hope fading. Proskauer was an ardent Republican, and belonged to the group of Jews who were opposed to publishing what was going on in Europe. It was therefore to be expected that he would prefer to be silent about anti-Semitism in the USA. The line taken by the AJC was generally moderate, supporting assimilation, and under Proskauer it involved opposing anti-Semitism in the USA by exposing it `as a miserable anti-democratic and anti-American manifestation’, as it was put in a statement by the AJC in October 1943. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 379
