U.S. Embassy Budapest, Public Affairs Section – “Remembering World War II and its Aftermath – The Long Road to Freedom”

The U.S. Embassy Budapest Public Affairs Section (PAS Budapest) of the U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce an open competition for organizations and individuals to submit applications to carry out a program (or project) with funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program that highlights the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the subsequent long road to freedom in Hungary. PAS Budapest invites proposals for programs that foster truthful recognition and remembrance of the tragedies of the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the long road to freedom that followed. Proposals should concentrate on recognizing and remembering the complicated totality of national history -- they should focus on individual experiences and oral histories, including those involving acts of humanity and resistance as well as cruelty and collaboration in the midst of the Holocaust and Second World War, and under the tyranny of the Soviet Union.
