  • Nagroda Im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda
    Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda za wybitne zasługi dla literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży Co dwa lata IBBY przyznaje autorom i ilustratorom książek dziecięcych swoje najwyższe wyróżnienie – Nagrodę im. Hansa Christiana Andersena. Otrzymują ją osoby żyjące, których twórczość jest bardzo ważna dla literatury dziecięcej. Nagroda ta, często nazywana „Małym Noblem”, to najważniejsze międzynarodowe odznaczenie, przyznawane za twórczość dla dzieci. Patronem nagrody jest Jej Wysokość, Małgorzata II, Królowa Danii. Nominacje do tej prestiżowej nagrody zgłaszane są przez narodowe sekcje, a wyboru laureatów dokonuje międzynarodowe jury, w którego skład wchodzą badacze i znawcy literatury dziecięcej. Nagrodę im. H. Ch. Andersena zaczęto przyznawać w 1956 roku, w kategorii Autor, a pierwszy ilustrator otrzymał ją dziesięć lat później. Na nagrodę składają się: złoty medal i dyplom, wręczane na uroczystej ceremonii, podczas Kongresu IBBY. Z okazji przyznania nagrody ukazuje się zawsze specjalny numer czasopisma „Bookbird”, w którym zamieszczane są nazwiska nominowanych, a także sprawozdanie z obrad Jury. Do tej pory żaden polski pisarz nie otrzymał tego odznaczenia, jednak polskie nazwisko widnieje na liście nagrodzonych. W 1982 roku bowiem Małego Nobla otrzymał wybitny polski grafik i ilustrator Zbigniew Rychlicki. Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena w 2022 r. Kolejnych zwycięzców nagrody im. Hansa Christiana Andersena poznamy wiosną 2022 podczas targów w Bolonii. Na długiej liście nominowanych, na której jest aż 66 nazwisk z 33 krajów – 33 pisarzy i 33 ilustratorów znaleźli się Marcin Szczygielski oraz Iwona Chmielewska. MARCIN SZCZYGIELSKI Marcin Szczygielski jest znanym polskim pisarzem, dziennikarzem i grafikiem. Jego prace były publikowane m.in. w Nowej Fantastyce czy Newsweeku, a jako dziennikarz swoją karierę związał również z tygodnikiem Wprost oraz miesięcznikiem Moje mieszkanie, którego był redaktorem naczelnym.

  • Robin Morrow, AM
    The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is a non-profit organisation which represents an international network of people from all over the world committed to bringing books and children together. NEWSLETTER No 32 February, 2017 President’s Letter Dear members and supporters of IBBY Australia The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was created in 1950, in the aftermath of World War II when millions of people had fled or lost their homes. (And Australia was quick to sign up as a state party to the Refugee Convention). IBBY was founded very soon after, in 1953. These were two of the organisations which arose at that time to work cooperatively, across national borders, to build a better world. Now we see many countries and leaders retreating from transnational policies. The president of the US has banned entry for people from a list of countries, in clear breach of the Geneva Convention. Australia has made savage cuts to its foreign aid budget. Millions of people, including many children, are refugees. It is easy to lose heart, and feel powerless in the face of such challenges. IBBY continues to advocate for the right of every child to be a reader, and to work to implement this through the IBBY Fund for Children in Crisis. In this newsletter are stories to inspire us, of a bilingual picture book club in Germany, and of a French project with wordless books, linked to IBBY Italia’s Silent Books: Final Destination Lampedusa. Go to the revamped website www.ibby.org to find out more of how IBBY combines idealism with practical efforts to bring quality books to children everywhere.

  • Notes to Accompany the Powerpoint
    Rescuers, A Model for a Caring Community Notes to accompany the PowerPoint. Birmingham Holocaust Education Center December 2009 1 Slide 1: TITLE SLIDE Rescuers are those who, at great personal risk, actively helped members of persecuted groups, primarily Jews, during the Holocaust in defiance of Third Reich policy. They were ordinary people who became extraordinary people because they acted in accordance with their own belief systems while living in an immoral society. Righteous Gentiles is also a term used for rescuers. “Gentiles” refers to people who are not Jewish. The most salient fact about the rescues was the fact that it was rare. And, these individuals who risked their lives were far outnumbered by those who took part in the murder of the Jews. These rescuers were even more outnumbered by those who stood by and did nothing. Yet, this aspect of history certainly should be taught to highlight the fact that the rescuers were ordinary people from diverse backgrounds who held on to basic values, who undertook extraordinary risks. The rescuers were people who before the war began were not saving lives or risking their own to defy unjust laws. They were going about their business and not necessarily in the most principled manner. Thus, we ask the question: “what is the legacy of these rescuers that impact our lives and guide us in making our world a better place.” 2 Slide 2 Dear Teacher: I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no man should witness: Gas chambers built by learned engineers, Children poisoned by educated physicians, Infants killed by trained nurses, Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates, So I am suspicious of education.

  • The Holocaust to the General Public in a Comprehensible, Yet Historically Accurate Manner
    A Study Guide By Plater Robinson Published by The Southern Institute for Education and Research at Tulane University RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS "The universe exists on the merit of the righteous among the nations of the world, and they are privileged to see the Divine Presence." -- The Talmud THE GOOD SAMARITAN And who is my neighbor? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinking thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
