Bibliothek-Library in Liberec, Building of Peace and Reconciliation, under the patronage of the presidents of Czech Republic and Germany.

This project links the library and the synagogue of Liberec in perfect harmony and will give each its own building for the first time in more than 50 years. It is both the first public library with a collection of this size and breadth to be built in the country in 70 years and the first new synagogue to be built in the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia) since World War Two. This new building project will present a library as an institution which not only takes care of various documents but also provides information of all kinds including among other things access to both historical and current information on many cultures, lands and peoples.

This new House of Prayer is to be not only a place of meeting for the Jews of the region but also both a symbol of human understanding and an act of symbolic compensation. The Library and House of Prayer will serve as a reminder that people of various beliefs, colour and cultures have lived, do and will always live in and among us. Thanks to moral and financial support from many sides it is a symbol of joining and of shaking hands over mutually lived history to a shared future.

Universal services – available to everyone. The library serves especially:

Dans une contribution magistrale, présentée à la conférence Axis for Peace 2005, le professeur James Petras analyse les contradictions du système impérialiste états-unien.
