Our mission is to promote and share with you a unique educational Holocaust project. More than mere history, the Girls of Room 28 story embraces art, music, friendship, civic values and much more.

The commitment of these survivors has made the exhibition and the book ‘The Girls of Room 28’ into a living testament of exceptional power that has been the catalyst for all kinds of educational and cultural projects in Germany and abroad. In London the Haberdasher’s Aske’s Boys School started a pilot project in April 2010. Thanks to their commitment and that of the historian Gabriel Fawcett the exhibition is now touring in further schools in England.

There can be few more powerful opportunities to engage not just with the past, but with such a challenging and rich array of human possibilities.

Our aim is to find or create a permanent home for the exhibition and with it for the legacy of ‘The Girls of Room 28’, and of the children of Theresienstadt.

In January 2008 the German Federal Parliament presented the exhibition as part of Germany’s official commemorations for the victims of the Holocaust. This event saw the original ‘Room 28’ rebuilt and donated to the charity Room 28. This special resource has breathed yet more life into what is already an exceptionally accessible story.

We hope passionately that one day the reconstructed room 28 will find a permanent home in Berlin or elsewhere, and enable students and adults alike the added privilege of so vividly imagining themselves part of this most vital learning experience.

As of summer 2010, the model of ‘Room 28’ is stored away in a container belonging to the Berlin moving company Zapf, which is generously sponsoring its storage for several months. Unfortunately, we are not even able to pay for the storage of this precious resource.

You can share this unique educational project with us, support our aim and mission and help champion the life-affirming cause of ‘The Girls of Room 28’
