Dear friends,
This is an update on FACT and its activities and how your money is spent.
Tonight the 3rd, I am going to Israel with a lightweight exhibition, which costs about one lakh rupees. Cost of travel and expenses there will be around 90.000 RS. The Indian ambassador in Israel, Raminder Jassal, an old friend of mine, is going to put it up at the embassy (there is at the moment, an indo-jewish conference on terrorism). Dr Balitzer, Director of the Simon Wisenthal Institute and Rabbi Cooper, are going to set-up for me a series of meetings in Israel so that the exhibition travels around the country and is seen by as many people as possible (Unfortunately Jewish people seem to still have some difficulties with Hindus because of the polytheistic nature of Hinduism â we need to change that). Another exhibition on general terrorism affecting India in the last 15 years is being made at the moment and will be ready by year end.
About the Holocaust museum. We will have the first meeting of the research committee on Dec 22d. so far, Michel Danino, Meenakshi Jain, David Frawley, Sardhindu Mukerjee of Delhi Univeristy, Konenraad Elst and myself are members, two more Indian historians will be added before the meeting. We will decide what is going to be inside the museum and assign to each member a particular period/area of research.
Thanking you for your support
