Two of our Holocaust Foundation board members have been awarded special honours in the New Year honours list.

Our chairman, Robert Narev, has been made Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to the community and education. In 1999, he was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

Robert was born in Germany and is a survivor of Theresienstadt Concentration Camp.

Trustee John Barnett has been made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to film and television. John is a prolific film producer and has produced or executive produced many of NZ's most successful works including Whale Rider, Sione's Wedding, Footrot Flats and What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted.

We take this opportunity to offer our congratulations to Bob and John and to thank them for their service to the Holocaust and Antisemitism Foundation, Aotearoa New Zealand.
