Siavosh Derakhti
Siavosh Derakhti (born July 3, 1991) was born in Sweden of Iranian immigrant parents. He is an Swedish social activist, founder of Young People Against Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia. In recognition of his activism to reduce prejudice and xenophobia, the government of Sweden presented him in 2013 with the Raoul Wallenberg Award, an honor named after the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews from Nazi death camps during WWII. The selection committee said Derakhti set a "positive example" in his hometown of Malmö and throughout Sweden. "He is a role model for others," the Wallenberg Award committee wrote, "showing through his actions and determination that one person can make a difference."〔(Siavosh Derakhti, a young Muslim, defends Jews and others targeted by hate crimes ) The Christian Science Monitor, 15 November 2013〕 On Nov. 8, 2012, the Swedish Committee Against Antisemitism gave Derakhti its first Elsa Award, established by Committee member Henrik Frenkel in memory of his parents to encourage young people to incorporate social media into the battle against Swedish anti-Semitism.〔(Machzorim for Lund: A Ray of Hope ) The Baltimore Jewish Times, 14 July 2013〕
==Early life and education==
Derakhti's Turkish-Azerbaijani family escaped Iran during its war with Iraq, in search of easier, safer life in Scandinavia. Although father was microbiologist and his mother a graduate in business and economics, as refugees they were initially unable to find work. He says, "My parents fled from dictatorship so their children could grow up in a peaceful place and experience democracy."〔(In tense Swedish city, young Muslim crusades against anti-Semitism ) The Times of Israel, 8 January 2013〕 When he was 7 years old, his two best friends were a Jewish student and a Roma student, and he learned to protect them from bullying and discrimination. His father remembers being subject to discrimination in Iran for being part of the Turkish-Azerbaijani minority. As part of his effort to teach his son about the evils of discrimination and persecution, Derakhti’s father first took him to Bergen-Belsen when he was 13 and to Auschwitz when he was 15.
