The Jewish communities, whose synagogues were largely destroyed during the NS injustice regime and who were often wiped out by the Shoah (Holocaust), were honored in May 2024 – precisely in these difficult times for them with openly expressed, strongly growing antisemitism – by the awarding of the „International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen“ to Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt and the Jewish communities in Europe. „With this award, the Charlemagne Prize Directorate wants to send the signal that Jewish life naturally belongs to Europe and that there must be no place for antisemitism in Europe. Jewish life is an important part of European history and the present – now and in the future. (...) With the President of the Conference of European Rabbis, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, and the Jewish communities in Europe, the Directorate honors... in 2024 the outstanding representative of European Jewry and Jewish life in Europe, which has been enriching our continent for centuries and will always have and must have its place here.“
