Associated organization

The NPO Room 28 is the associated organization for the educational part of the untertaking including the exhibition. It was founded in 2007 with the central mission of supporting the creation of a lasting memory and telling the story of these girls to present and future generations.  - I am the co-founder and, since 2008, managing director of this organization. It is a small circle of friends (30 members), among them committed teachers who appreciate the  educational value and material and use it for their educational work and projects.

Allies

Mstislav Pentkovsky, Riga (Lativa) is my special ally in this project. He is opera-director who has staged Hans Krása's children opera "Brundibár" at the Mariinsky Theatre and the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, at the Volgograd Music Theatre, the Moscow Philharmonic and the Tallinn Russian Theatre in Estonia. He has inspired to our "Brundibár. Reading and Gift project for children"   and is especially interested in the music play about "The Girls of Room 28". It might be a great idea to develop a German-Latvian or European project with it - or whatever arises. Any ideas are very welcome.

Make a Difference. Get involved.

We welcome

  • Donors who wish to support and finance our efforts and goals.
  • Friends who join us in standing up for a better world.
  • Supporters in whatever way possible.
  • New Members in our organization 'Room 28', which may, if fortune favors us, be transformed into a foundation. 

The Room 28 project of Remembrance and Education was realized over thirty years under difficult conditions basically by one person - many years inspired and supported by the survivors themselves. Now this is not possible any more. A transformation is absolutly necessary. So, therefore this initiative to launch an Alliance.
