A letter From Yad Vashem to House of Fates Project led by Dr. Mária Schmidt published on 20th of March 2014 on the House of Fates Project facebook page and on the website of the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities (MAZSIHISZ)
"Dear Dr. Schmidt,In regard to your invitation to representatives of Yad Vashem to attend an international meeting of experts regarding the House of Fates project that you lead, please be informed that Yad Vashem will not be sending representation to such a meeting.
Yad Vashem will not be taking part in gatherings or activities organized by the "House of Fates Museum" project, because the project's administration has consistently and unilaterally pursued the development of the Museum without any genuine, substantial involvement of the representatives of the Hungarian Jewish community or of relevant international parties, including Yad Vashem.
Furthermore, Yad Vashem expects that our institution's name will not be used by the Museum project in any way, in any context, that might indicate our supposed involvement in or support for the project.
Sincerely,
Yossi Gevir
Senior Assistant to the Chairman
Yad Vashem Directorate"
