On January 27, 2010, on the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day the traveling exhibition of the Carl Lutz Foundation was on display in Temple Isaiah of Palm Springs. The Opening Ceremony was attended by Balázs Bokor, Consul General of Hungary and he delivered a speech. He emphasized that “the sound of silent may be grievous” that’s why we had to lift up our voice so that the sins of the past wouldn’t be able to happen again. Bruno Ryff, Consul General of Switzerland stressed that Carl Lutz who made a stand for a just cause is an icon for the present-day diplomats. The cooperation of Carl Lutz and Zionist Resistance saved many lives in Budapest in 1944.

Newest News IV. by michaelcsato

Dear Visitor,

You are welcome on our website in the second month of the second decade in the third millennium. This is the ball season and we hope you got your Valentine’s Day gift. We also hope that you have time to read the newest news on the Memorial Room and look around a bit.
Two weeks ago tour guides of the Hidden Treasure Tours Ltd. visited the Memorial Room. Special thanks to Emőke Szövérfi for managing the visit. The tour guides were good and inquiring tourists. They raised many questions and tried to learn more and more details about the topic. We hope they will come back with tourists soon.
Some days ago Prof. Paul Lendvai and Zsóka Lendvai also visited the exhibition. They said that more people would have known it. We will do our best in order to reach this goal.
We would like to ask you, Dear Visitor, what your opinion is, what you want to see on our website. More history, more memoirs or something else? Please, send a message to us in the virtual Guestbook!
Thank you very much for your visit!



Newest News III. by michaelcsato

New month has come. New year has come. New decade has come. We hope that everybody is out of “festive food-poisoning” and can lose weight during the year. Till then, please read our news.

Every Visitor is important to the Carl Lutz Foundation – it was established in order to show bravery and heroism in a dark age, and, at the same time, the background of the events –, however, it is always special to greet people from Switzerland in the Memorial Room. In a month’s time we could do it twice. Four young girls came in December, and a kind couple with a small child visited us last week. We hope that they found the exhibition appropriate for the purpose above.

There are two new Pages on this website: Guestbook Quotes and Historical Quotes. The Carl Lutz Foundation is grateful to all Visitors who have visited the Memorial Room since 2005. It would like to express its appreciation to them by a selection – because of the great number – of the Guestbook Notes. Because of practical reasons there are mainly the Hungarian and the English texts. This is anonym excepting people from public life.

The Historical Quotes is planned to make more colourful the picture on our topic with short quotes from that time. It is planned to be a selection of quotes from known and less known people in Hungarian and in English. We hope, you will find them interesting.

We wish a happy beginning in the New Year to everyone!
