Commenting on the honours, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, Karen Pollock MBE said:
“Huge congratulations to all the Holocaust survivors who have recieved Honours. We wish each of these wonderful individuals a hearty mazel tov for an Honour well deserved.”
Hearing from a Holocaust survivor has a far-reaching impact. Often referred to as the most memorable lesson of the year, our survivors inspire thousands upon thousands. As the Holocaust moves from living history to just history, the determination of these survivors to relive the most difficult moments of their life in order to inform future generations has never been more important.
I am thrilled that so many Holocaust survivors have been recognised for their vital work and I hope that entering the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust, all those who share their testimonies will receive the honours they so truly warrant.
