  • July 2014 Executive Director’S Letter Like
    July 2014 Volume 19, Number 10 Executive Director’s Letter July 2014 Dear Friends, A report recently crossed my desk from the World Jewish Congress called Neo-Nazism in Modern Europe. It is a study of the revival of Neo- Nazi leaning political parties in Europe, focusing on Greece, Hungary and Germany, with additional analysis of other European countries. While the space available here does not allow me to adequately convey the report’s significant information, I would like to share with you its concluding paragraph: “The briefing deals primarily with neo-Nazis rather than the far-Right anti-immigration parties that have seen such a resurgence in recent years. However, as some of the examples show, there is an overlap between the two in so far as the far-Right may set the tone for many of the same issues that energize neo-Nazis, also in so far as their thinking could end up in a similar place to that of the neo-Nazis if left unchecked.” (If you would like to see the entire report, you can either find it online or send me an email at [email protected] and I will send an electronic copy to you). How concerned should we be about rising anti-Semitism in Europe, and should we be concerned about it here in the U.S.? My view is we should be quite concerned about Europe. The rise of neo-Nazism in Europe’s politics is the latest evidence that the anti-Semitism of the Holocaust era may have been dormant in Europe, but did not disappear.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Contents From the President From the President 2 Dear Friend of the Conservancy: Speaking Out for Preservation 3 The New York Landmarks Conservancy joined in the citywide celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the City’s Landmarks Law this year. Ironically, while panels, exhibitions and award celebrations hailed the Law’s achievements and contributions, significant threats to preservation emerged. Providing Technical Expertise 15 The Conservancy contributed to the celebrations with a panel at the Morgan Library in May that decided New York has room for both preservation and development. Later that month, our Sacred Sites Open House Preserving Sacred Sites 23 Weekend brought some 3,000 people into historic houses of worship. Our Chairman’s Luncheon honored the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for restoring and incorporat- Funding Historic Properties 31 ing the historic Corbin Building into the new Fulton Transit Center in Lower Manhattan. We also honored architect Robert A.M. Stern for his leadership on issues ranging from designating more modern buildings, Assisting Nonprofits and the Public Sector 35 to protecting the landmark Four Seasons Restaurant from inappropriate alterations; and for his encyclope- dic series of books on one hundred years of the City’s architecture. In December, we held a dinner honoring former early board member James Wolfensohn for his key role in the Conservancy’s first project: finding a Honoring Excellence 37 new use for the former U.S. Custom House on Bowling Green. On the other hand, it took a concerted effort by Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, the Conservancy, Celebrating Living Landmarks 40 and our colleague groups, to convince the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) not to toss out 95 buildings and sites the Commission had let linger on the books without a decision.
