TEL AVIV, Israel — (AP) — Nine scholars of history have been awarded the prestigious Dan David Prize for 2022, with each receiving $300,000 to help further their work. The Dan David Prize board said the nine are being recognized for “breakthrough achievements in the study of the past" in new and creative ways. “If you are a person who believes history can make a difference in the world, this prize is an affirmation of that,” said Bart Elmore, an environmental historian and one of this year's winners. The prize was “redesigned” in 2021 ahead of its 20th anniversary, the board statement said. The prize is endowed by the Dan David Foundation and is headquartered at Tel Aviv University.
