Margot Friedländer
Margot Friedländer is a Holocaust survivor and a prominent advocate against racism and dictatorship. Born in Berlin, she experienced the horrors of the Holocaust and later returned to Germany from the United States at the age of 88. At 103 years old, she actively engages with youth and school children, sharing her experiences to educate them about the importance of tolerance and the dangers of totalitarianism. Her resilience and commitment to remembrance serve as a poignant reminder of the past and the ongoing fight against prejudice. She was recently honored by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the Westfälische Friedenskonferenz for her inspiring dedication to education and advocacy.
