AJR Congratulates Members On Queen’s Birthday Honours

The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) is delighted and proud to announce that a number of its members have been included in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for 2020.

Members honoured include: Lilian Black, Eva Glicksman, Hana Kleiner, Marcel Ladenheim, Lady Zahava Kohn, Tomi Komoly, Ellen Davis, Renate Inow, Lili Pohlmann and Elfriede Starer.

The AJR is also thrilled that Jeffrey Pinnick, who served for many years as the Chairman of the Yom HaShoah Forum, has been honoured.

AJR Chief Executive Michael Newman said, “The AJR extends its congratulations to those of our members being recognised for their tireless commitment to Holocaust remembrance and education, including those who have been able to continue to share their experiences by speaking to school pupils during the pandemic.

“That more people are staying at home and accessing information online has added value to AJR’s digital testimony projects, Refugee Voices and My Story, which enable many survivors and refugees to share their stories for posterity so that the world never forgets. They are an inspiration to us all and rightly deserve their accolades.”
