"The Genesis Prize celebrates Steven Spielberg's unique talent, his commitment to making the world a better place, and his unparalleled contribution to teaching the post-war generations about the horrors of the Holocaust," said Stan Polovets, co-founder and chairman of the Genesis Prize Foundation. Spielberg is one of the most successful and influential filmmakers of all time, with a string of blockbusters to his name. They include "Jaws," "E.T. the Extra Terrestrial," "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Jurassic Park." He has won three Academy Awards for his work on "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" and numerous other industry recognitions.
