On the occasion of Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day, Yom HaShoah ve HaGvura, Ambassador Gary Koren hosted a special event Zikaron BaSalon - Testimony in the living room. Zikaron BaSalon started as a private initiative, and developed into a worldwide phenomenon.
In a more intimate atmosphere, we talked with Holocaust survivors and their families, members of Jewish municipalities, but also relevant people from the field of Holocaust research and the fight against anti-Semitism about their experiences, thoughts and the future of memory.
We hereby thank all our participants: the survivor Mr. Darko Fischer, H.E. former president Mr. Stjepan Mesić, prof. Hrvoj Klasić, Judaic graduates Mrs. Mateja Mirković and Mrs. Anita Fiket, director of the Education Agency, Ph.D. Dubravka Brezak Stamać, director of the Jasenovac memorial area Iva Pejaković, Mrs. Sanja Zoričić Tabaković from the Šoa Academy, president of the Jewish Municipality of Zagreb and the Coordination of Jewish Municipalities, prof. Ognjen Kraus, moderator Nataša Barac and our guests in the audience, as well as the crew of the Prizma show (HRT) who covered the event in the media.
We also remind you that by listening to witnesses, we become witnesses. It is our common duty to preserve the memory of the Holocaust, its victims and heroes, and to ensure the future of memory.
