Another month passed away. What is more, the third millennium has just begun and the first decade will soon expire. The holiday season has come.
Let us inform you, Dear Visitor, during or before these great days what happened in the Memorial Room. It was, namely, visited by many interesting people from many countries, and there were many interesting conversations. A family came, for example, from Israel, and both of the husband and his wife had relations with the Glass House – it turned out accidentally some years ago. A pair came from Denmark was very well-informed on Hungarian history and told us interesting information. Other dear visitors came from Scotland, Canada, the United States of America, France, Germany, Italy, and, naturally, Hungary.
At the end of November a group of pensioners and librarians from the Thirteenth District of Budapest visited the Memorial Room. The President of the Carl Lutz Foundation, Mr. György Vámos held a lecture on the history of the Glass House and the role of Carl Lutz. It was followed by a conversation. The audience was very intense and they had many questions. The meeting was mutually instructive. It turned out again that it would be very important to record the memoirs of the older age-groups – until we can.
On the same day three visitors came from Germany and brought good news. A new film will be made on the rescue action in Budapest. We hope their work will be successful.
Some words about our work generally. We contacted hundreds of secondary schools in the hope that we can cooperate with them. The Foundation plans to open a new page here for quotations from the Guestbook of the exhibition in the Memorial Room. Besides, the Foundation continues to search for partners in order to make exhibitions, programs or events of commemoration. We hope that you will visit us, our websites and/or our exhibitions personally and/or virtually.
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
