Dear Friends,
We are very glad to be able to share some wonderful news with you! Thanks to each of your generous donations, we have been able to raise the funds necessary for the purchase of land for the “House of Courage” (Žanis Lipke Memorial).
6 Mazais Balasta dambis, Riga – it is here, across the road from the Žanis Lipke Memorial, that the House of Courage will stand in a few years. A place free of prejudices and stereotypes, the House of Courage will provide an educational centre for discussing the dilemmas and challenges facing modern society, and teach a new generation of Latvians to conduct open dialogue.
To buy the land, it was necessary that we raise € 350,000. Thanks to the support of 273 philanthropists, we exceed this target by € 80,000, which has been used to fund the design of the new building. We are excited to announce that the House of Courage will be built according to a design by the MADE architectural bureau, which was selected from a total of 17 proposals sent to us for consideration.
We are happy that the story of a righteous Latvian man has interested so many people - people who are often connected neither to Latvia nor to the Jewish people. We see this as a confirmation of the fact that the acts of the righteous - the acts of people who were ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others - remain an example of humanity to those living today.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your trust and support!
Yours sincerely,
Michael Zeligman, Founder of the Uniting History Foundation
Māris Gailis, Founder of the Žanis Lipke Memorial
