Wiesenthal Center isn’t withdrawing prize given to Harvey Weinstein

Amid growing backlash against the film mogul over sexual harassment allegations, Jewish groups he supported stay mum

The Simon Wiesenthal Center said it hasn’t considered withdrawing an award given to movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was fired by the production company he founded following a string of sexual harassment allegations.

Weinstein received the 2015 Humanitarian Award from the group, which promotes tolerance, and was honored at its annual gala dinner. Weinstein received the award due in part to his contributions to the group, which have totaled nearly $100,000. That year’s dinner brought in $1.75 million.
