Continuing the legacy of courage
CHANGING MINDS
CHANGING LIVES
The Dora Love Prize, named after Holocaust survivor and educator Dora Rabinowitz Love, is an annual school prize informed by the Holocaust. It gives secondary school students the opportunity to learn about the Holocaust in a way that makes it relevant for them and inspires citizenship and democratic activism to put an end to identity-based prejudice, discrimination, marginalisation and violence in our communities today.
Dora Love passed away on 26 October 2011, and the Dora Love Prize continues her work in raising awareness to the ongoing dangers of intolerance, discrimination and hatred of people because of who they are. The attitudes that made the Holocaust possible still persist today, and it is important to stand up and speak up out for an inclusive society.

TESTIMONIALS
The Dora Love Prize gives young people unforgettable experiences and the confidence to make positive change in the world around them. It continues to influence and inspire them long after they leave school. But don’t just take our word for it.
Olivia Marks-Woldman OBE, Chief Executive of the UK Holocaust Memorial Day Trust
“Since its launch the Dora Love Prize has transformed Holocaust education in the schools it works with. It is a powerful and vitally important resource that gives young people the understanding, empathy and confidence to actively challenge hatred and discrimination they see in the world around them. The involvement of the late Dora Love and Frank Bright, both of whom survived the Holocaust as children, gives students a unique opportunity to hear first-hand of the horrors endured by those who lived through this terrible moment in world history. Most remarkable of all is its ability and commitment to go further and look at the experiences of all those who were marginalised and murdered by the Nazis and in other genocides, without losing sight of the origin of the Holocaust and its significance for the Jewish community. In a world in which we sadly still witness marginalisation, discrimination and hatred of those termed ‘others’ the Dora Love Prize is a beacon of hope, a tool that empowers the next generation to believe they can make the world a better place.”

High School teachers
“The Dora Love Prize is a call for students to act, not to merely be passive recipients of information from expert speakers, students are expected to use their newfound knowledge and understanding to make their community a better place for all. Involvement in the Dora Love Prize has enriched our curriculum and made it more responsive to student voice. In addition, we have seen many students grow in confidence as they come to understand that they can become the force for change that they want to see in their school and local community.” – Dale Banham, Deputy Headteacher, Northgate High School & Sixth Form Centre, Ipswich
“The Dora Love Prize inspires our students as it gives them the opportunity to critically engage with the world around them and reflect upon the prejudices and discrimination that still exist today. It has provided us with an opportunity to not only enrich our curriculum with a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, but also connect this past tragedy with the present.” – Sophie Foster- Subject Lead for History at the Gilberd School
“Entering the Dora Love Prize will further strengthen our students’ and school’s commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion which is a fundamental pillar of our school community in addition to reinforcing holocaust awareness.” – Ben Lane, Socials and English Teacher, Collingwood High School, West Vancouver, Canada
