International Business Times: Who Is Abu Mohammad al-Adnani? ISIS Spokesman Reportedly Killed In Syria
Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, "second in command" to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed in Aleppo. The Counter Extremism Project lists Adnani as the leader of ISIS's Emni group, a unit that orchestrates attacks outside of the Middle East. The U.S. State Department named him a terrorist in 2014 and later described him as "the main conduit for the dissemination of ISIL messages."

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
