 Educational Programs Respect and ToleranceOur seminars are based on the accreditation of Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic. The main topics: History Basic information dealing with the Jewish history: genesis of the first Jewish state around 1000 BCA, anti Roman rebellion, Diaspora, entry of the Jews to Europe, coexistence of the Jewish and Christian communities in Bohemia and Moravia from the 11th to 20th centuries. Mutual influences in the area culture, traditions, religion, language, customs, literature etc. Holocaust The Holocaust is used also as an example how a tragedy can start with just words; evil words, slander, lies, humiliation, and preaching of simple solutions for the problems in the world. Indifference to these "innocent and harmless" occurrences lead to a formation of a big tragedy for the mankind, millions of men, women and children – with no regards to their nationality or religion. The present days It is necessary to accent the reality that the Nazi ideas and the Holocaust do not (unfortunately) belong to the history. Nazi ideas and the Holocaust didn´t disappear 65 years ago, they are surfacing in different forms even at the present days. Basic knowledge in this area is very important to understand the present events in our country and around the world. Racism, hatred and intolerance still keep returning to our world thanks to propagators of various versions of extremism and fundamentalism. “…to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all…”
