It does not attract that much attention. young Jewish families. The community itself life across the country. 4 Some might ask why should the FHV, whose name includes the words “Holocaust Victims”, deal with the support of young Jewish families. The answer is blunt. If it was not for the Holo- caust, there would not need to be a foundation for its victims. Young families would not need our support, because their lives would not be affected by Holocaust either. My personal wish and the only natural development would be, if the main source of funding for this programme came from donors that have the possibility and feel the need to support our future. Therefore, I wish to ask you to be the ones to support this programme. Thank you. Michal Borges 5 Mission Statement and Activities Foundation for the Holocaust Victims.

  • The Boys of Terezin
    The Boys of Terezin Teacher Resource Package Prepared by: Susan Starkman, B.A., M.Ed Synopsis Country of Origin: United States Director: John Sharify Runtime: 52 minutes Themes: Holocaust, overcoming adversity, healing power of art, music and literature This uplifting documentary is testament to the way that the drive for creativity cannot be stifled, even under the most challenging conditions. Risking their lives, the teenage residents of Home One, a children’s concentration camp, created a magazine called VEDEM that chronicled their daily lives through essays, poems and pictures. The last boy to remain at Terezin buried all 800 pages, retrieving the manuscript after liberation. In 2010, Music of Remembrance commissioned Vedem, an oratorio based on the boys’ experiences, to be performed by the Seattle Boychoir. Included in this group, is Toronto’s George Brady, familiar to many as the brother of Hana Brady (Hana’s Suitcase). Curriculum Links The Boys of Terezin can be used to meet the requirements of the Media Studies component of English, Grades 7-12. It can also be used to meet the requirements of Grade 10 History (CHC2D), Grade 12 World History: The West and the World (CHY4U), and Grade 12 Adventures in World History (CHM4E).

The Crocus Project – Booklist 1 There are very many books written about the horrors of the Second World War and the Jewish children who lived and died during it. Some are stories like Anne Frank’s. Some tell of survivors and refugees, some are about the brave people who tried to help. Most are based on true stories. The Nazis persecuted the Jews and they also persecuted others: black people, homosexuals, Roma and people with disabilities. Writers, journalists, socialists, trade unionists and political opponents to the Nazi regime were also targeted. There are several listings of books about the Holocaust suitable for children. The following are useful points of contact for lists and guides: • Publi c libraries www.askaboutireland.ie/libraries • Children’s books Ireland http://www.childrensbooksireland.com • Internationa l Board on Books for Young People http://www.ibbyireland.ie Every country participating in The Crocus Project will have its own recommended reading list. The books on this reading list refer specifically to the Holocaust. Teachers are strongly advised to read all books before reading them in the classroom and to add their own selections to the list.

Prohlašuji, že v souladu s § 47b zákona č. 111/1998 Sb. v platném znění, souhlasím se zveřejněním své diplomové práce, a to v nezkrácené podobě elektronickou cestou ve veřejně přístupné části databáze STAG provozované Jihočeskou univerzitou v Českých Budějovicích na jejích internetových stránkách. České Budějovice, 10. dubna 2010 Lenka Švecová Poděkování Tímto bych ráda poděkovala vedoucímu své diplomové práce, doc. PaedDr. Michalu Bauerovi, PhD. za cenné rady, připomínky a odborné vedení během diplomové práce. Děkuji též zaměstnancům archivu Památníku Terezín i zaměstnancům Židovského muzea v Praze, za ochotu a pomoc při hledání cenných materiálů. Děkuji rovněž Mgr. Evě Šormové za poskytnutí informací ohledně kulturních aktivit v terezínském ghettu. Anotace Vedem je název českého literárního časopisu, který byl tajně vydáván v letech 1942- 1944 v terezínském koncentračním táboře. Vznikl na popud učitele Valtra Eisingera, jenž měl na starost židovské chlapce žijící v „Domově“ č.I tzv. bloku L417 a podporoval jejich kulturní rozvoj a tvůrčí schopnosti. Chlapci ve věku od čtrnácti do šestnácti let se ujali tajného vydávání časopisu, který vycházel každý pátek po dobu zhruba dvou let. Obsah tvořily stálé rubriky, básně, povídky, ale též filozofické eseje či literární kritiky. Svou ucelenou formou se časopis Vedem snažil co nejvíce přiblížit skutečnému periodiku, o čemž svědčí i žertem uvedená částka na titulní straně.

    WWW. CENTROPA. ORG JEWISH WITNESS TO A EUROPEAN CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHS AND LIFE HISTORIES FROM CENTRAL A N D EASTERN EUROPE THE CENTRAL EUROPE CENTER FOR RESEARCH A N D DOCUMENTATION FAMILY NAME: CHAVA PRESSBURGER CITY: PRAGUE COUNTRY: CZECH REPUBLIC INTERVIEWER: PAVLA NEUNER Chava Pressburger Mrs. Chava Pressburger lives in both Israel and the Czech Republic. It was in Prague, in her cozy and tastefully furnished apartment, where the inter- view took place. Mrs. Pressburger impressed me as a very educated and cul- tured woman and works as an artist. I met her for the first time at the end of 2004 in a Prague bookstore, where she was signing a newly published book of diaries of her brother, Petr Ginz. I was immediately captivated by the book's cover, which she designed. Pavla Neuner I unfortunately didn't know either of my grandfathers; they died before I was born. My grandfather on my father's side was named Josef Gunz, and was born in 1857 in Barchovice. According to his birth certificate, he was cir- cumcised at birth. His father was named Filip Gunz and was a merchant, his mother was Estera, nee Pickova, and came from Lesna. Later, grandpa 'Czechified' his name, and changed the 'u' with an umlaut to an 'i'. So my father's last name was already Ginz. Grandma was named Berta, nee Stastna. She was born in 1866 in central Bohemia. From my grandfather's birth cer- tificate, it's obvious that my grandparents and their parents were merchants. I don't know how religious they were, and how much they observed Jewish customs, but I imagine that Jews in those days were all very religious.

  • GINZ, PETR, Diario De Praga (1941-1942) (Acantilado - Quaderns Crema, Barcelona 2006), 184P
    632 ESTUDIOS ECLESIÁSTICOS 82 (2007).—RECENSIONES Uno habría esperado al menos que el elemento cristiano y jesuano fuera más defini- do y más determinante.—GABINO URÍBARRI, S.J. GINZ, PETR, Diario de Praga (1941-1942) (Acantilado - Quaderns Crema, Barcelona 2006), 184p. [+ láminas], ISBN: 84-96489-54-X El 1 de febrero de 2003 el trasbordador espacial Columbia se desintegraba cuan- do entraba en la atmósfera terrestre y faltaban pocos minutos para el aterrizaje. A bordo de la nave iba el astronauta israelí Ilan Ramon, que llevaba en su equipaje un dibujo de Petr Ginz (el Paisaje lunar, cedido por el museo de Yad Vashem), como recuerdo emocionado del holocausto judío. Al conocerse este terrible accidente, un anónimo ofreció (no desinteresadamente) los seis cuadernos que componen el diario de Petr Ginz y que había encontrado en un viejo edificio ruinoso en Praga. A través de todos estos vericuetos, nos ha llegado el Diario de Praga de Ginz que abarca el pe- ríodo que va desde septiembre de 1941 a febrero de 1942. Esta obra que se nos ofrece ahora en castellano nos muestra la vida de aquel ado- lescente con muchas inquietudes artísticas y literarias, enamorado de las novelas de Verne, que va viendo cómo sus familiares y amigos son deportados a Terezin (el tris- temente célebre Theresienstadt), el campo de distribución de judíos que servía de ante- cámara para el exterminio en Treblinka o Auschwitz. Sin duda, este Diario pasará a engrosar la lista de clásicos del «género» de la «lite- ratura de ghetto» (valgan las expresiones, utilizadas con precaución y respeto), junto a los diarios de Ana Frank, Etty Hillesum, Dawid Rubinowicz (todavía no publicado en castellano) o al diario novelado de Wladyslaw Szpilman (el pianista del ghetto de Varsovia).

  • Holocaust-Era Diaries ​
    Lesson Plan: And Still I Write: Holocaust-Era Diaries ​ Rationale/Purpose for the Lesson The activity that is contained in this packet will allow teachers to extend a unit of study that focuses on the writings on Anne Frank to include other Holocaust-related adolescent voices. A close reading of the diaries led to the development of seven topics to consider through different writer’s voices. The writers of selected diary entries are diverse in gender and geographic location. Through the excerpts selected for each topic, learners can consider what was happening throughout Europe during the Holocaust as they develop a more complex understanding of the events that were occurring. This activity can be used in several ways, including work by small groups who read about one topic, or used in its entirety for a Socratic seminar. An important note to this activity is that the diaries do not reflect experiences inside concentration or killing centers; teachers would need to supplement their unit of study with this information. This could be done with survivor testimony, found on Holocaust Museum Houston’s website which contains testimony by those who were adolescents during the Holocaust. https://hmh.org/survivors/grid/ Please note that while this lesson plan is written for face-to-face instruction, it can be modified for distance learning. Please contact the HMH Education Team for support in adapting this lesson at [email protected]. ​ Dutch cabinet minister Gerritt Bolkestein gave a speech via radio in March 1944: “History cannot be written on the basis of official decisions and documents alone.
