Dear Child Survivors, Welcome to the Time Capsule edition of CONNECTIONS. Thank you to all our members, families and friends for your overwhelming support on this historic occasion. Your contributions will be specially wrapped, placed in the sealed time capsule and stored in the archives of the Jewish Holocaust Centre for 50 years (until May 2064). Notification will be published in 2064 to advise all current and future generations of the opening ceremony date. Child survivors can only dare to imagine the change in the lives of their grandchildren and young friends who
supported them when the time capsule was closed. The commemorative DVD is now ready to be ordered. Filmed and produced by Phillip Maisel the DVD captures all the warmth and emotion shared on the day. Price: $20 for 1 copy, $35 for 2 copies. Postage will add $3 a package. Please phone Phillip Maisel at the Testimonies Departmenton on 9528 1985 to place your order. Allow two weeks from the order date to receive your DVD. Profits from the sale of the DVD will be used towards the cost of cleaning and preserving the Child Survivor wall hanging on display at the Museum. viv. Chairperson, CSH Melbourne
