She was also a member of the Gandel Holocaust Knowledge and Awareness in Australia Survey 2021 advisory group. This national survey was designed to understand how much Australians know about the Holocaust and how much it continues to impact in contemporary times. In 2022 she was the recipient of the Gandel Award for Excellence in Holocaust Education. Lauren was hand-picked by the Australian delegates of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) to support the development of key educational resources for the 2022 Australian Holocaust Memorial Week.
