Karoline Preisler wrote that she had been awarded the Arno Hamburger Prize for Civil Courage by the Jewish Cultural Community of Nuremberg (IKGN). She expressed that she was overwhelmed and grateful and emphasized the beauty of the medal. Arno Hamburger was far more than a British soldier, a witness to the Nuremberg Trials, and head of the IKGN; he took action. She sees the prize named after him as an honor and a commitment, Preisler wrote. #Zivilcourage #Ehrung #Dankbarkeit (translated)

"Lukas Resetarits and Peter Resetarits have pursued a common goal in very different ways: they have shaped public life and consistently focused on quality, attitude, and social responsibility. One on stage and in front of the camera, the other in journalistic efforts for the concerns of the people – both have left a lasting impact on public life in Austria," said Ludwig in his speech. #ResetaritsBrüder #Ehrenzeichen #Wien (translated)

NIUS reported that Angela Merkel is increasingly receiving awards, honors, and honorary doctorates. The former chancellor receives a new award on average every three months, according to the media. Merkel is often honored for issues that many Germans associate critically with her, particularly the strict COVID measures, the migration crisis, and an EU that NIUS views as overreaching. https://t.co/shHZa7qG3n #AngelaMerkel #Ehrungen #Politik (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that a photo of Gerhard Schröder in Moscow raises the question of why his trip remains without consequences for him. Schröder flew to Moscow, had himself photographed by the fireplace, and then returned to Germany, without any change to his public status. Laska pointed out that Schröder had returned his honorary citizenship before it could be revoked. An expulsion from the party had failed at the SPD. For an investigative committee, Schröder was too ill, but not for trips to Moscow and new supervisory board positions, she wrote. She also criticized that the Federal President would shake his hand at the next opportunity. In her view, the photo does not show Schröder's problem, but that society does not draw any consequences from it. As long as this remains the case, Vladimir Putin knows that Germany's support for Ukraine means a lot of money, but nothing "that hurts," Laska wrote. #Deutschland #Russland #Ukraine (translated)
