Germany's Friends of Yad Vashem joined in the statement, issued on the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
"By adopting the IHRA Working Definition, these five well-known German companies are sending a clear signal. They are telling their employees worldwide, as well as their customers, that anti-Semitism has no place in their organizations," said AJC Berlin Director Dr. Remko Leemhuis.
"We look to many more companies and organizations taking similar action," Leemhuis said.
