General André Delpech' Prize to Alain CARRIER.

Sarlat 27 September 2019.

The Prize of General André Delpech honours the merits of those who have particularly devoted themselves to the objectives of the CID, the International Committee of Dachau, either directly for the memory of the deportation in this camp, or more broadly by fighting against fascism, racism and antisemitism and against any other discrimination on political and religious grounds.

Ernst Sillem 14/7/23 - 17/10/20

My dear Vladimir,

"CID is saddened to announce the death of Vladimir Feierabend, Czech survivor of the Dachau camp.
A man of deep human qualities, he was one of the oldest active members of the Dachau International Committee's bodies, in which, without putting himself forward, he had a wise advisory role.
He had accompanied many classes of pupils to Dachau and was anxious to maintain the international character of the Camp Memorial".

In 12 years of existence, the Dachau camp has been the symbol and the school of the concentration camp universe of repression and negation of Man.

The Dachau concentration camp was liberated on April 29, 1945. Every year we commemorate the liberation of Dachau. On the former concentration camp site, but also on the Leitenberg and the forest cemetery ‘Waldfriedhof’, the final resting place of many victims.

To remember what happened, is the first step to prevent it from happening again.

A few weeks ago, as you probably know, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, the Bavarian Memorial Foundation and the Comité International de Dachau (CID) had to take the hard decision to cancel all the commemorative events connected with the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp. This cancellation also relates to the central commemorative event, which had been planned for Sunday, May 3rd, 2020.
