Having an Impact on U.K. Prime Minister's Visit to Yad Vashem: Advocacy, Education and Preserving Memory

Henry Foner, right, was at Yad Vashem when Avner Shalev presented "Postcards to a Little Boy" to Mr. Cameron as a memento of the role his country played in saving 10,000 Jewish children from the Nazis.

In 1938, Max Lichtwitz of Berlin, a widower, made the heartbreaking decision to send his only child, Heinz, to the United Kingdom as part of the Kindertransport to save him from the growing persecution of the Jews. Heinz was placed with a childless Jewish couple in Wales, Morris and Winnie Foner, who raised him as their own. Max wrote dozens of colorful and loving postcards to his son, eventually in English as young Heinz forgot his German, until the onset of war made direct communication impossible. Young Heinz last heard from his father in 1942, via the Red Cross. Max died four months later in the Auschwitz gas chambers.

1938 godine je Max Lichwitz, udovac, poslao svog sina Heinza , kao dijete, iz Berlina u Englesku ,u akciji "Kindertransport" , gdje je odgojen u engleskoj obitelji  Foner. Otac je  iz Njemačke slao brojna pisma u Englesku  u vrijeme dok je to bilo još moguće .Posljednji put je Heinz  čuo o svom ocu 1942. godine, on je ubijen u Auschwitzu. Danas se Heinz zove Henry Foner i živi u Izraelu i bio je prisutan kada je premijeru Cameronu,  prilikom posjete Yad Vashemu,  bila uručena knjiga “Postcards to a Little Boy: A Kindertransport Story" ,  u kojoj su sakupljena originalna  pisma ( pa i ona koja su njemu pisana) , skanirana i prevedena.

U toku posjete (engleske) Komisije Yad Vashemu  njezin predsjednik Mick Davis je potpisao  dokument o velikoj suradnji Yad Vashema i britanskih organizacija vezanih za Holokaust, uključujući seminare za edukatore u Internacionalnoj školi za studije o Holokaustu u Yad Vashemu, dolasku edukatora iz Yad Vashema na univerzitete u U.K., razmjenu istraživača , zajedničke akademske radionice i stipendije.

Signing the guest book, Mr. Cameron wrote that, “Yad Vashem is a beacon for the world safeguarding the memory of the millions that lost their lives during the Holocaust – and leading the way to a future free from hatred and prejudice.” He noted that the Commission on the Holocaust was visiting Yad Vashem, so that “the U.K. will draw inspiration from all you have done and help make sure those dreadful events are never forgotten.”

The Claims Conference is proud of Ben’s integral role in expanding Shoah education and awareness in the U.K. and involving the highest levels of British government in this effort...
