project NEIGHBOURS WHO DISAPPEARED

We would like to introduce project of the Jewish Museum in Prague: The project Tribute to the Child Holocaust Victims follows in suit of the project Neighbours Who Disappeared. Similarly to the latter it addresses young people aged 12 – 18 and proposes that they work independently on the stories of people who lived with their neighbors in harmony until WW II. and who were then mostly marked, restricted, persecuted, and finally liquidated. This project’s topic, however, is in the first place the life of the WW II. students and children in the same schools children go to today, and what were the reasons for their sudden departure.
The exhibition is travelling now through Europe, Slovak Republic in Czech language, UK, Ireland in English, Germany in Germain and we are preparing a traveling through Romania and Italy.
The project is supported by The Forgotten Ones association.
