Primili smo najnovije vijesti iz Svjetske organizacije Holokausta preživjelih (
World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust & Descendants)
čiji smo član (Melita je član Izvršnog odbora) o probuđenim aktivnostima nakon dugotrajnog "Lock down" i drugih mjera za zaštitu naše stare populacije.
I mi smo stalni suradnici njihovog časopisa svojim prilozima, a sada pripremamo najnovije vijesti ako uspijemo organizirati druženje u parku Doma uz kavicu i kekse i Godišnje okupljanje i druženje u Šibeniku, za što smo dobili potporu Claims konferencije a očekujmo i potporu ŽOZ-a iz odobrenih sredstava budžeta za 2021. godinu , koja je nužna za dobivanje fonda.
Sada su nam postavljeni novi uvjeti i podnošenje nove molbe kao i odgovor na upitnik sa 50 pitanja.
Nadamo se da ćemo stići na vrijeme obaviti nove formalnosti.

WFNU World Federation News Update
Here is news from some of our groups around the world. Please send your news to Susan Dubin at susandubin48@gmail.com for future editions of WFNU!
From Vancouver:
Our child survivor group is doing well. There are 25 of us, most of whom attend our weekly zoom meetings on Tuesdays. We have a new program every Tuesday. A survivor tells their post Holocaust story and it’s amazing . Their journey from then to now.
We still
speak to schools and now many are writing their memoirs. So far most of us are well and avoiding COVID.
On behalf of the Survivor Group of BC , Lillian Boraks Nemetz
From Elly Bollegraaf in Ottawa:
I myself am still in touch with a few of the members that were in our Hidden Children group here in Ottawa. This group is one that I established.
Yes, we have a closeness that we maintained because of the very importance of what happened to us and t
hat we share
. There is that understanding between us, and the fact that we want the world to know what happened.
From Slovakia-Kosice:
Greetings from Kosice, Slovakia.... We had a lot of plans
for 2020 and also 2021, but we had to cancel almost everything.
In the Summer of 2020, when the measures were a bit more relaxed, we managed to organise an event with the writer and researcher ..In juni 2020 we organized a Slovak Hidden Child conference. As the measures were once again tightened in October 2020 we have had only online events since then. Mrs Grznarikova is organizing online meetings for the whole Slovakia, and many of our members attend them.
In these difficult times, we try to stay in touch with our members through phone calls or emails.

In severe earthquakes
in Zagreb on 22.March and in series which
followed, the
entire city centre is in danger. Epicenter was in village
Markuševac near
Zagreb where almost all houses are severely damaged.
Many hospitals, museums, concert hall, churches, Cathedral, government buildings, faculties, galleries, cemetery, theaters, academy of sciences and thousands of houses were damaged.
Especially dramatic moment was when from building of the Hospital
for maternity were rescuing maternity wards, new-born babies and
babies in incubators.
There was one death and 25 people are hurt...
Those whose homes were demolished are housed in a student dormitory, and many "field kitchens" are open in the Parks from Red Cross and town or church organizations.
Army clean streets, all traffic is stopped, all stores, restaurant, shopping and other centre are closed rather pharmacy, ambulance and bakeries. Schools are closed and pupil learn online at home.. Even now is danger to walk on the street because part of the building from the damaged roof chimney fall down ..
An Central governmental headquarters was organized by the epidemiologist, the Minister of Health, the Interior minister and chief of Hospital for infectious disease, which order strict measures and very effectively holds infection.
Government immediately issued a number of new measures.
Jewish community buildings
were also destroyed -
the communal
centre, the nursing home, the office building. Many members' buildings
were damaged and some had to move out, some were placed in a
Jewish old age home which is also damaged.
The Jewish Museum
Synagogue, Library, Club and many offices are seriously damaged. We have the chance that no one is hurt.
President of Jewish community dr.Ognjen
Kraus immediately , when Corona virus epidemic start, banned
all gatherings, community activities, religious services and staff
start to work from their houses and most old people stay
isolated in their homes, so that we, till now,
have no any case of virus infection.

|
|
|
The Jewish community of Croatia organized a commemoration in Jasenovac, the main concentration camp in Croatia, for Jewish, Serbian, Roma and Croatian anti-Fascist victims who were murdered in the camp during the WWII. About 80,000 people perished at Jasenovac.
The commemoration was attended by many of the relatives of
the victims as well as others. This commemoration was organized
separately from the official Governmental ceremonies
as a protest to recent developments in Croatia.
