Dürr Group donates to Jewish Museum Berlin
The Dürr Group is supporting the Jewish Museum Berlin with a donation of € 5,000. The donation was pledged in mid-November on the occasion of this year's award ceremony for the Prize for Understanding and Tolerance in Berlin.
The Jewish Museum Berlin is one of the largest institutions of its kind in Europe. Its exhibitions convey the history of Jews in Germany and Jewish culture up to the present day. One focus of the museum's activities is educational work. This includes an extensive educational program, research opportunities in the library and archives as well as a varied program of events for children, young people and adults.
"Anti-Semitism has no place in Germany. As a society with historical responsibility, we must stand united against discrimination against Jews and take a clear stance. The protection of Jewish life in Germany is a joint task that concerns us all," said Dr. Jochen Weyrauch, CEO of Dürr AG. The Dürr CEO made the donation pledge at this year's award ceremony for the Prize for Understanding and Tolerance in Berlin. Since 2002, the Jewish Museum Berlin has awarded this prize to personalities from the worlds of culture, politics and business who have made outstanding contributions to the promotion of human dignity, international understanding, the integration of minorities and the coexistence of different religions and cultures. This year, the award went to Holocaust survivor Margot Friedländer and French author and rabbi Delphine Horvilleur.
