Edition Room 28 & Room 28 Projects
by Hannelore Brenner-Wonschick
Edition Room 28 is the publishing branch of the Room 28 Projects by Hannelore Brenner.
Edition Room 28 started in 2014 with the publication of the entire authentic Theresienstadt Diary by Helga Pollak-Kinsky. This publication marked the beginning of further publications dealing with and dedicated to the "Legacy of the Girls of Room 28".
It is the aim of both, the Edition Room 28 and Room 28 Projects, to tell their story to young people. It offers creative artists a rich variety of artistic opportunities - book, theatre, exhibtion - and it offers teachers an amazing amount of quality teaching material.
This aim is shared by the NPO

Room 28 Projects ®
The name
Room 28 Projects
stands for the entirety of the works that I published in cooperation with or in the spirit of survivors of "Room 28, L410 Ghetto Theresienstadt" from 2003 onwards: a play, books, an exhibition along with the
Room 28 Educational Project.
The name also stands for all the projects and activities that developed from the alliance with survivors of Room 28 since 1998.
The publications of the Edition Room 28 are elements of the Room 28 Educational Project, which is supported by the Berlin NPO Room 28. Both, the association and the educational project, have their own websites. The website of the educational project is conceived as an international, dynamic and interactive one. It focuses on the content of the educational project and presents the concept behind it. I invite you to look at the NPO Room 28 and to explore Room 28 Education .
Background information. Why Edition Room 28 started.
I am an author and did not plan to become a publisher. I became one because of the diary of Helga Polla-Kinsky which I felt obliged to publish., the more so when, in 2012, a book appeared under the title "Helga's Diary". Ever since a confusion with "our Helga" began. Unfortunately it was the autobiography of Madeleine Albright "Prague Winter" who led to this confusion. Because of incorrect sources citation her book gave the impression, that my book was written based on the diary of Helga Weissová who also lived in the Girls' Home's L 410 in Theresienstadt, but not in Room 28. This is the reason why I feld urged to publish "our Helga's authentic diary. In 2014 I published it under the title: Mein Theresienstädter Tagebuch 1943-1944. More about this problem that harmed us (Helga and me) in a chapter of the English Compendia.
Our dear Helga Kinsky, née Pollak (1930-2020), left us on 14 November 2020. Read more about this wonderful woman on the menu: Helga Kinsky
