August 03,2017 12:04

At the Raoul Wallenberg Foundation we received the sad news of the passing of Dr. Barbara Mooyaart-Doubleday.

Barbara Mooyaart-Doubleday was a unique human being. Her memorable translation of Anne Frank’s diary into English played a pivotal role in bringing this poignant story to large audiences around the world. Her lectures and interviews were a source of inspiration to the young generations.

Back in 2013 the Raoul Wallenberg Foundation bestowed upon Mrs. Mooyaart-Doubleday the Raoul Wallenberg Centennial Medal. She deserved the accolade and we are happy to have had the chance to thank her during her life-time.

Dr. Mooyaart-Doubleday has lived a long, meaningful and productive life and she will be deeply missed. She made a difference.

The hearts of all the members and staff of the Raoul Wallenberg Foundation go out to her dear family.
