Dear Members and Friends,
The joint World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust and Descendants (WFJCSHD) and GSI Conference was an overwhelming success. Some 500 people from all over the world came together and shared a wonderful experience. Over the next few months, we will be sharing photos and materials from the conference on our website and facebook site. Those of you who attended are welcome to send us your photos and stories: [email protected].
During our conference, technical difficulties prevented Martin Fletcher from showing this clip. As promised, here is the link: Martin Fletcher - A violin, lost in the Holocaust - YouTube.
There are several events commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Kindertransport. To read the Proclamation of World Kindertransport Day: http://kindertransport.org/docs/kta-75.pdf. See the upcoming events section below for specific events December 1 - 9.
Congratulations to GSI Coordinating Council Member Ken Engel on receiving the Minnesota Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board 2013 Volunteer of the Year award! The announcement of this award cites Ken’s work with GSI.
We thank our facebook guests Marilyn Meyers, Nancy Goodman, Margit Meissner and George Halasz. This was the first time we had multiple guests at one time and it was an interesting experiment. We turn now to our last scheduled guest, Beth Burstein. To learn more about Beth: www.adaughterslegacy.com. We will not be continuing this series next year but will leave the site open for our members’ use and for the day in the future when we want to resume this program. Join the discussion on facebook by clicking on the discussion group tab above.
Best Wishes for 2014. As you are making your year-end donations, if you feel well-served by GSI please make a contribution to a social service agency that helps survivors in need and /or to the Holocaust museum / memorial of your choice. Thank you.

There are many articles on the Claims Conference and the looted art found in Germany in the FYI section below. See also the website www.lostart.de, or http://www.lostart.de/Webs/DE/Datenbank/KunstfundMuenchen.html
GSI is looking into the Gurlitt artwork seizure matter, including communicating with three of the major groups involved -- the Berlin-based Task Force "Schwabinger Kinstfund", the London- based Commission for Looting Art in Europe, and the New York State Department of Financial Services' Holocaust Claims Processing Office -- as well as with other related officials. We will provide updates as this develops.

Yad Vashem & the Aladdin Project Hold First-Ever Joint Seminar in Turkey on Holocaust Education At the end of October, Yad Vashem and the Aladdin Project (http://www.projetaladin.org/en/) held their first-ever joint Holocaust education seminar in Turkey. A group of some 20 academics who teach in private and public universities in Turkey participated in the program organized by the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem, in cooperation with the Aladdin Project and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) at Galatasaray University in Istanbul. The seminar is the first stage of a five-part educational initiative for Turkish academics. Within the framework of the seminar, the participants heard lectures on Holocaust education and anti-Semitism. During the second stage of the program participants will take part in an online study course beginning in January 2014. In June 2014, the group will visit Jerusalem for a weeklong seminar at Yad Vashem's International School for Holocaust Studies. In the fourth stage they will implement educational programs in their respective universities, and in February 2015 the program will culminate with a video-conference summarizing the program and bringing together the entire group of educators to assess the outcome of the long-term project.

The joint Declaration of Intent is aimed at increasing the cooperation between Yad Vashem and German pedagogical institutions, universities, Holocaust memorial sites, museums and organizations in all sixteen German states in an effort to promote professional development programming for German educators of the Shoah and foster the teaching of the Holocaust in the German educational curriculum. This is the first time that a Declaration regarding Holocaust education has been signed that includes all the states of Germany.

FYI … Richard Bloom Productions is releasing Defending Holocaust History, a new documentary which focuses on the 1941 onset of genocide in Eastern Europe, particularly Lithuania and Latvia. Over the past five years, the Lithuanian Government has conducted an insidious worldwide campaign to rewrite the history of the Holocaust in an attempt to sanitize the role of thousands of its citizens and avoid accountability. They have glorified Lithuanian Nazi collaborators as heroes, vilified the victims, and attempted to delegitimize the Holocaust as a unique historical event by comparing it to the crimes of Stalin. To view the film, please click on this link: http://youtu.be/wWpE1GFAsdw. For more information about the film, please visit www.richardbloomproductions.com and Dr. Dovid Katz's website for in depth background on all the issues. www.defendinghistory.com
FYI… From April 24 - May 7, 2014 the Friends of the March of the Living will conduct an adult group trip, accompanied by a Lithuanian Holocaust survivor and world renowned Cantor Alberto Mizrahi, son of a Holocaust survivor from Greece.
