Congratulations to Leapfrog author Irene Butter on being awarded the 2025 Anne Frank Award for Human Dignity and Tolerance. What a wonderful honor on this #HolocaustRemembranceDay

I have the great honor to announce that the 2025 Anne Frank Award for Human Dignity and Tolerance will be awarded to Irene Butter for her work fighting intolerance, anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination.

Today, #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we honor those who suffered or lost their lives under Nazism, including 6 million Jews. #WeRemember "I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains." - Anne Frank.
