“The circle of Active Memory is about to be closed…” is the title, it was based on a statement made by Jorge Semprún, a former inmate of the Buchenwald camp, on the 60th anniversary of the camp's liberation.

The Ghetto Fighters House is a musuem, founded in 1949 as a way to honor the enduring memory of  Holocaust survivors. The museum also serves as a way to celebrate the lives of these courageous people, as well as their lives after their liberation. Founded in 1949 by a community of Holocaust survivors, as well as Jewish underground members, the community wanted to tell the stories of their stories of triumph and struggle.
