  • Annual Report 2007  ELEM 2007 Annual Report
    ELEM Youth in Distress Annual Report 2007 ELEM 2007 Annual Report Nava Barak ELEM President As president of Elem, I am honored to report a year of truly unique and significant achievements for youth at risk in Israel. This year marks the 25th anniversary of our important operations - the efforts of hundreds of devoted employees and thousands of volunteers from all over the country who consistently rise to the occasion and dedicate themselves on a daily basis all for the benefit of our youth- be it in the streets, in the night outreach vans, in our day centers or through our preventative programs and local leaderships. These dedicated teams give of their time, their professional expertise and most importantly, give their heart and soul to offer youth a better life and help them become contributing citizens in the community. Despite the serious social, security and economic problems facing Israeli society, more and more citizens volunteer for the programs. We at Elem recognize that volunteers are greatly appreciated by the youth themselves and have a positive impact on their lives, as they rebuild trusting relationships and create a real change in their lives. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude for the important work of our 1,500 adult and youth volunteers all across the country. One of Elem's latest and most innovative projects, "Derech Hamelech" (The Way of the King), has substantially grown over the past year. As the name suggests, the program provides youth who dropped out of all formal frameworks and youth in conflict with the law, a new direction that re-integrates them into society, through a mentored employment program.

    Edward Kossoy, Holocaust und Wiedergutmachung. Erinnerungen eines jüdischen Anwalts, Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt 2012, 287 S., kart., 29,90 €. Nachruf auf Edward Kossoy Es könnte schlimmer sein. So beginnt die Geschichte von dem Mann, der zu früh nach Hause kommt und seine Frau im Bett mit dem Nachbarn findet. Er erschießt beide und bringt dann auch sich selbst um. Es könnte schlimmer sein, sagt der Erzähler. Wäre er zwei Tage früher gekommen, hätte er mich erschossen. Den Nachruf auf ein Jahrhundertleben mit einem Witz zu beginnen, ist ein Wagnis. Zu sehr Klischee, zu groß die Gefahr, etwas Unpassendes zu sagen. Doch Edward Kossoy, einer der Pioniere der Wie- dergutmachung für NS-Unrecht, machte es einem leicht, sich von derlei Befürchtungen zu befreien. Fragte man ihn danach, was als Leitspruch für sein Leben gelten könnte, antwortete er: Wenn schon, dann: „Es könnte schlimmer sein.“ Und erzählte die Geschichte. Seine erste Stelle bekam Kossoy als 16-Jähriger bei der polnischen Lokalzeitung „Opinja“ („Mei- nung“), für die er jeden Tag ein kleines satirisches Gedicht verfasste. Einen besonderen Humor, der herzlich und auch beißend sein kann, hat er offenbar schon damals gepflegt. Er war ein feiner, kluger und auch erfolgreicher Mann. Sein Leben war zugleich außergewöhnlich und doch leider auch be- zeichnend für die Zeitläufte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sieben Sprachen sprach er: Neben Polnisch und Russisch, den Sprachen seiner Kindheit, auch Hebräisch, Englisch, Französisch und nicht zuletzt Deutsch, die Sprache seiner Verfolger. „Ich bin ein polnischer Jude.“ So beginnen seine Memoiren. Die deutsche Ausgabe erschien wenige Monate vor seinem Tod, und sie trägt leider den etwas blassen Titel „Holocaust und Wiedergutmachung.

  • Country Report Germany June 2012
    International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)1 Country report Germany June 2012 All 31 countries that are members of the IHRA have committed themselves to submit a brief survey, outlining their respective situation of the development of dealing with the Holocaust as concerns the fields of research, remembrance and education. The German delegation in the IHRA was one of the first to be asked to meet the obligation to report. German Delegation in the IHRA, Berlin 2013 1 http://www.holocaustremembrance.com/ - 2 - 1. General Activities a – Are there any developments in politics or government that have had a substantial impact on the activities related to the Stockholm Declaration over the last five years? The relevance of memorial sites relating to the Nazi era and documentation centres for Holocaust education and remembrance is unquestioned in German politics. The updated Policy Paper on Memorial Sites (Fortschreibung des Gedenkstättenkonzepts 2) of 2008 provides predictable resources for the continued existence and work of these institutions. On a visit to Israel in January 2012 the German Foreign Minister pledged one million euros annually for the next ten years to support the Yad Vashem memorial. The funding will primarily provide targeted support to the field of general archival and educational work and for translations of archival and educational material into German. The Federal Republic of Germany also contributes financially to the maintenance of the Auschwitz- Birkenau State Museum (Stiftung Auschwitz-Birkenau) in Poland. In November 2011 the Bavarian Minister of Education and his Israeli counterpart signed a memorandum of cooperation, which was co-signed by the chairman of Yad Vashem since it places great emphasis on the field of Holocaust education.
