Poetry For Peace

We are honored to cordially invite you to enter the

2022-2023 Poetry For Peace Competition

Theme: The Holocaust era and the Pandemic era:
Lessons to be learned – Reflecting on the past to protect the future.

The Poetry for Peace prize is granted by the Miriam Felicia Lindberg Memorial Peace Foundation to honor poetry written by survivors of the Holocaust and their children. The Poetry for Peace prize recognizes poetry that not only inculcates the horrors, apprehensions and trepidation of the Holocaust into words but also serves to provide insight how variations of the heinous monstrosities could happen again. The Poetry for Peace prize is committed to encourage the creation of original works of poetry and to empower both the survivors and their children to utter the incomprehensible in a personal nature.
