On the evening of November 15th, the Embrey Human Rights Program at SMU will hold its third Triumph of the Spirit Award ceremony. The Triumph of the Spirit Award is a biennual award given in recognition of one individual's achievement, innovation, and sacrifice in working for justice and peace anywhere in the world. At the ceremony, a separate prize will also be given to a human rights champion working in the Dallas region.

The 2018 Triumph of the Spirit Award Global recipients are Nazi Hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld. For more than five decades, this married couple has brought war criminals to justice across the globe and helped restore the names and faces of Nazi victims. The 2018 Triumph of the Spirit Award Dallas honorees are the Docents of the Dallas Holocaust Museum. This elite team of North Texas educators is dedicated to teaching the history of the Holocaust and advancing human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference.

The ceremony will gather the educators, activists, philanthropists, and leaders from Dallas and far beyond. It will also showcase a variety of creative expressions in celebration of the diverse struggle for human rights occurring across the globe.
