The Dora Love Prize

The Dora Love Prize

The Dora Love Prize was established in memory of Holocaust survivor Dora Love and is an annual prize for secondary school students. It asks students to develop projects which link what they have learnt about the Holocaust with the world they live in today, and to take action to put an end to identity-based prejudice, discrimination, marginalisation and violence.

The prize goes to the project which expresses best that which was most important to Dora Love: speaking up against hatred wherever it occurs, never forgetting the ultimate consequence of seemingly small acts of discrimination and developing a sense of personal responsibility.

The Dora Love Prize was originally set up in 2012 by University of Essex historian Professor Rainer Schulze and during its first 11 years, the Prize was funded and supported by the University.

The Dora Love Prize continues each year and is now organised and run by the independent Dora Love Prize charity (registered charity no. 1211884).  Please visit their website: www.thedoraloveprize.org.
