[Membroj] Holocaust & Esperanto revisited

[Jim Ryan]

Thank you for posting these, and for including my talk at the Holocaust 
Museum.  We definitely plan to try for another similar event to coincide 
with the 2010 LK here.  I plan to contact Mrs. Balbin (I have been 
informed that Mr. Balbin now has Alzheimer's) and see if we can make a 
formal presentation of some of his works on that occasion. 

A thought:  We're also thinking about a public event this year to 
commemorate the sesquicentennial of Zamenhof's birth.  Should we try to 
do something with the Holocaust Museum for that occasion as well?  It 
took endless and tireless work for me to set up the event in 1995 -- I 
had to keep contacting many minimally responsive (or totally 
non-responsive) people for about a year to make it happen.  (BTW, Mr. 
Balbin was slated to attend that event but got sick at the last 
minute.)  So I'm not sure we want to try for two events, one this year 
for the LLZ sesquicentennial and another next year for the LK -- but 
perhaps we should try?  If we have to choose one or the other, I would 
think next year's LK is more important, since congress attendees would 
attend the event en masse. 

If not the Holocaust Museum for LLZ in 2009, then what? 

Opinions welcome.
