Michelle Charlesworth; 2024 Recipient
"I am absolutely thrilled and humbled to be recognized by a group dedicated to first-hand experiential education about the Holocaust. I was honored to meet Mark Schonwetter years ago and to write about his story of surviving the Holocaust as a boy. What is amazing is that his story is also about hope, faith, family, and the kindness of strangers. Regular people willing to risk their lives for others facing immoral persecution.”

“Receiving anything, let alone an award, from Mark Schonwetter feels backwards to me but I am honored nonetheless. Mark and his family do amazing work and I am humbled to be the tiniest part of it.”
