USC Shoah Foundation Donors and Holocaust Survivor Knighted By Queen Elizabeth II
Two supporters of USC Shoah Foundation, Leonard Blavatnik and Trevor Pears, and Holocaust survivor Frank Lowy were awarded knighthoods on Queen Elizabeth II’s 2017 Birthday Honors List.
The Queen gives honors twice a year, for New Year’s and her official birthday in June. Awards are given to citizens in the United Kingdom and overseas who have made achievements in public life, committed themselves to serving and helping Britain, or displayed bravery or moral courage.
Blavatnik was awarded the Knight Bachelor for his contributions to philanthropy.
