Tuchman has most recently worked as a senior leader in the ADL’s Center on Extremism, where he helped oversee research on antisemitic incidents, extremist movements and conspiracy theories. “The Nexus Center for Antisemitism Research will strengthen the accuracy and nuance of public and institutional conversations about antisemitism,” Solow said. “I have great respect for the work that comes out of the ADL and the Center on Extremism,” Tuchman said. “I have a commitment from Nexus that if the research contradicts its assumptions, it’s the research that wins,” he said.
