Anual Report 2018
(Translated from 20190113 Zprava o cinnosti 2018) Public-Benefit Association for the Support of Individuals Affected by the Holocaust IČ: 03929007, residing at CZ-110 00 Praha 1 – Staré Město, Malá Štupartská 646/1 Annual Activity Report of the Association for 2018 1. Report for the Year 2018 An overview of management performance and of accounting records for 2017 was audited by the Audit Committee of the Association through the review of banking records. The management report for 2017 was subsequently sent to the Municipal Court in Prague, into a file of documents of the Register of recorded Associations. The Association informed the Tax Office that pursuant to Section 38mb No. 586/1992 Coll. Of the Income Taxe Code, it was not required to file an income tax return for 2017. In 2018 the Association sent to all 2017 donors for tax purposes a confirmation of the acceptance of their donations. In 2018 we duly accounted for the gift of the Hagibor Foundation for the year 2017. The Hagibor Foundation confirmed by mail on July 10, 2018 the accuracy of the accounting. All financial operations in 2018 were performed exclusively via bank transfers. This management method has proved to be good and the Board proposes to proceed in the future the same way. The rejection of cash contributions during individual activities, though it reduces small donations, it keeps everything transparent and clear to members, donors, and for bookkeepers. In 2018, the Hagibor Foundation accepted the Association's request to support our charitable activities and those benefiting the Hagibor Social Welfare Home (DSPH) and provided a contribution of CZK 8,000,000. -

Remembrance Series The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Photographs courtesy of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and the Department of National Defence (DND). © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada represented by the Minister of Veterans Affairs, 2005. Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits. -

Gunter Demnig
Faire acte de résistance face à l’oubli. Notre établissement présente cette année, dans le cadre de la Journée internationale dédiée à la mémoire des victimes de la Shoah et à la prévention des crimes contre l’Humanité, une exposition intitulée Les Stolpersteine - Pavés de la Mémoire. Cette Journée instituée en octobre 2002, à l’initiative des ministres de l’Éducation des États membres du Conseil de l’Europe et de l’Organisation des Nations-Unies, est commémorée chaque année le 27 janvier, date anniversaire de la libération du camp d’Auschwitz. Son objectif essentiel est d’encourager les Etats et l’ensemble des institutions scolaires à promouvoir des projets éducatifs et à protéger les lieux de mémoire liés à la Shoah et à la déportation. Le projet autour des Stolpersteine se concrétisera en mai 2019 par la pose de pavés dans la Ville de StrasbourG. Il constituera une première dans la capitale européenne des Droits de l’Homme, capitale et gardienne de la Mémoire européenne. Mené par un collectif franco-allemand dont nous saluons le travail, ce projet Stolpersteine revendique un questionnement sur le monument et la monumentalité des lieux de mémoire, sur le choix de la mise en scène qui oscille entre dimensions artistique et mémorielle mais également sur la portée symbolique de la présence sourde de ces pavés de laiton qui peuvent raviver l’histoire, susciter des sentiments et des émotions, ou même passer inaperçus. Le concept de l’artiste berlinois Gunter Demnig, s’il bouleverse les modalités de la mémoire des victimes par une forme de dissolution du monumental, il n’en demeure pas moins lisible et plus abordable que d’autres œuvres mémorielles et artistiques liées à la Shoah, à la déportation et à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. -

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home. -
A Comparative Perspective on the Memorialization of the Holocaust In
A Comparative Perspective on the Memorialization of the Holocaust in Germany and Hungary The role of the actors in constructing memory, 1990-2014 by Agnes Kende Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Andrea Pető Second Reader: Professor Constantin Iordachi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary June, 2015 Statement of Copyright Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This thesis addresses the salient phenomenon of Holocaust memorialization in Germany and Hungary from 1989/1990 to the present-day. The fundamental reason for the rapidly developing Holocaust memorials and monuments across Europe in the 90s can be largely explained by the political shift across Europe. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the midst of newly established democracies, reunited Germany along with Hungary wished to come to terms with their troublesome past. This thesis focuses on the disparities between the methods these two countries have pursued to remember their Holocaust victims. In order to elucidate on the complex mechanism behind the diverse process of memorialization in Germany and Hungary, the evolvement of their history politics first and foremost ought to be discussed. -
