Here is a memorial song to the dead in Auschwitz.
On the 12th of April, 2011, in a New York festivity, the republication of the English translation of the Esperanto piece, Masquerade, of Tivadar Soros (father of George) was launched. This literary work deals with the successful survival of the Soros Family in Budapest during the systemic persecution and killing of Hungarian Jews by the hands of the Nazis in the final years of the Second World War.
This party, in the home of the financier, George Soros, son of Tivadar, brought together groups of outstanding intellectuals of the region; among others were the head editor of the New York Review of Books, representatives of the New York Times, several literary talents, and the known television commentarian, Bill Moyers. Specialists on Esperanto, Prof. Esther Schor and author Arika Okrent were present.

Comment not in flyer:In 1974 I met Miryam Ginz during several hours. She was the mother of Petr Ginz. She was kind and motherly to me, a young Esperantist bicyling Israel. http://www.petrginz.com/
Sekve de la programo cxe UNO oni malkovris ke Petr Ginz, filo de cxeh-israelaj esperantistoj, skribis au'tobiografion. Filmo estas jam disvastigata cxe UNO kaj ankau' libro sekvos.

Mi korespondis samteme, ecx samtempe kun Petro Chrdle kaj Miroslav Malovec.

Henri Masson Kvankam tio ne rekte rilatas kaj kvankam tio estas en la franca lingvo, povus esti utile diskonigi ankaŭ paĝon, kiu temas pri la homeca aktivado de la esperantista movado dum la du mondmilitoj kaj ĝia rilato kun la Ruĝa Kruco : http://www.icrc.org/fre/resources/documents/misc/5fzgfl.htm

The UN-New York is having its 2013 annual Holocaust exhibit, most of which is visible in these 30 pictures. A quarter of it is dedicated to the Pole, Jan Karski, who averted about the on-coming Holocaust. Another section, last year being a quarter the program, this year a smaller section, is on the Czech Jewish child-victim, Petr Ginz ( died 14 yrs. old), whose biography/autobiography and film is supported in multiple translations by the UN. Petr's parents and sister survived the concentration camps. Together with the help of the Esperanto movement (for which the family were activists) spread the word about materials left by Petr. I met parents Miryam and Ota Ginz in Israel in the 1970's. Petr's nephew appeared at special events last year at the UN.
