The Margot Friedländer Prize, awarded for the first time by Friedländer's own foundation, celebrates efforts to combat antisemitism and promote democracy and humanity.
Additional recipients included the association 'apropolis,' which educates young people on combating discrimination and identifying fake news, and 'Zweitzeugen,' which keeps Holocaust survivors' stories alive.
The 'Barrierefrei erinnern' center in Thuringia was recognized for making Holocaust education accessible to people with disabilities through simplified language and guided tours.
Two school initiatives, Berlin's 'Interessensgemeinschaft Friedenstaube' and Hanau's 'josefine' student newspaper, received the Margot Friedländer School Prize for promoting peace and remembrance.
