Katie Holmes Honors Tom Cruise for Wiesenthal Center

Katie Holmes comes out to support and honor her husband, Tom Cruise, during the 2011 Simon Wiesenthal Center National Tribute Dinner at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday (May 5) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“It’s a tremendous honor,” Tom said as he received the Humanitarian Award for his work as a philanthropist. “For me and my family this is really a very special evening and I look at what Simon Wiesenthal accomplished with his life, what this museum represents. Our challenge, ladies and gentlemen, is to make sure that we do all in our power to see to it that there will be no more Auschwitz/Birkenaus, no more Rwandas, no more Darfurs on our planet. That our children and their children may be free to live in a world where men and women are judged by their accomplishments and deeds rather than by their race or religion.”

Tom was also accompanied at the event by his son, Connor, as well as movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

FYI: Katie is wearing a black Dolce&Gabbana dress with green bow detail. She accessorized with Cindy Chao-The Art Jewel earrings.
