These organizations serve as a professional and
methodical umbrella of the Czech schools project
The outcomes of
the project (2000 1st Volume, 2001 film
of the Czech TV based on the Volume, since 2002 the exhibition) so far
have topped our expectations. It seems that the project not only provides students
to formulate questions, which relate to the fate of the people who have
disappeared during the 2nd World War in their neighborhood. information,
but also even helps to change the social environment. Since 2002 (official
opening of the exhibition in Senat of Parliament of the CR) is the individual
effort of students multiplied by following activities of local Jewish
communities and Non-Governmental organizations. In 2003 first regional
Volume was printed (Litomyšl).
In 2004
first international meeting of participants was held.
2004 - There are new projects inspired by the project Neighbours Who
Disappeared not only in the Czech Republic (for ex. Plzeň, Chotěboř), but even
on international level ( Milan Šimečka Fund project Lost Neighbours, Slovak Republic).
Our web site
is offering active participation on it - local outputs for new participants.
There are 4
copies of the traveling exhibition, and participation of students on
important events and seminars for teachers.
Deborah
Lipstadt, Leo Pavlat and Arnost Lustig appraised the effort of students on the
first international meeting in June. Students are preparing their own
