The Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC)’s Virtual Upstanders Awards took place on May 10, 2021. For the past eleven years, the Friedlander Upstander Awards have been presented to students who have intervened during a bullying incident or act of intolerance. Award recipients are exceptional youth who advocate for those in need or stand up against peer pressure and they are rewarded with an educational scholarship of $5,000 provided by the Claire Friedlander Family Foundation.

This event was a fundraiser in support of HMTC’s Holocaust and Tolerance Education programs for students and adults.
