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.

During the project Neighbors Who Disappeared are students 12-21 years old preparing their independent research (still rare in Central and Eastern European schools) on the stories of Jewish people who disappeared during the 2nd World War in their neighborhood. Mostly Non Jewish students are looking for local articles and statements doing research into local archives, editing testimonies not only of survivors but mainly of witnesses compiling into brochures or volumes. They are saving private and lost photos and documents, and often bravely researching and rescuing local memory helping to build a new self-reflection of their community. 12 panels in total were created /1999 - 2002/. 2.
