Around 270 entries were submitted to the National Fund of the Republic of Austria from over 30 countries around the world. These projects add powerful momentum to international efforts to combat antisemitism whilst also raising historical awareness. As in previous years, part of the ceremony will be devoted to honouring contemporary witnesses, whose personal testimonies are invaluable for passing on and preserving the memory of the Holocaust.
