Award of the Genç-Prize

The „Genç Prize“ of the Turkish-German Health Foundation e.V. from Gießen was awarded by its chairman, Dr. Yasar Bilgin in memory of the exemplary behaviour of the Genç family, who were victims of a radical right-wing arson attack in Solingen in 1993. The award is intended to send a clear signal against racism, discrimination and violence and honour people who, despite a xenophobic experience in the sense of the idea of reconciliation, do not contribute to the formation of fronts in society, but continue to do great work for a peaceful coexistence.
