Highly responsible features require appropriate conditions. Above-standard benefits attract the people for whom the main goal is to achieve these benefits. Without strong and capable personalities, nothing can move forward. Poor personalities, sooner or later, will lead organizations and society into perdition.

Prague, 20 November 2017. The Platform of European Memory and Conscience presents a critical report on the House of European History, a project of the European Parliament in Brussels. The report is a result of a study visit of 19 experts from 9 countries which took place in August this year.

The conclusion of the report says that the House of European History fails at presenting European history in three dimensions: structure, concept and facts. As a result, visitors get an ideologically biased, chaotic narrative line with many shortcomings or even falsifications. The main idea is missing and it seems to be overshadowed by the narrow-minded Marxism-rooted concept.

Berlin / Prague, 6 November 2017. On the occasion of the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall 28 years ago, the Platform of European Memory and Conscience and the German Union of Victims of Communist Tyranny UOKG call upon former refugees from East Germany who were arrested attempting to cross the Czechoslovak borders to the West to apply for rehabilitation and compensation from the courts of the Czech and Slovak Republics. 

In the belief that the Czechoslovak borders to West Germany and Austria were less severly guarded than the inner-German border, many thousand East Germans travelled to Czechoslovakia dutiny Communism and attempted to cross the Iron Curtain there. Some were successful, some were sadly killed or died while trying to cross the border.  Those who were caught were arrested and handed over to the East German secret police Stasi.
