| Caption | The Bahá'í Publishing Trusts of Germany and India were represented October 1-6 at the International Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, whose theme was ‘India—Change in Continuity.’ The latter’s booth was especially eye-catching because of the model of the House of Worship in New Delhi. Surrounded by large-sized photographs showing various stages of construction of the building, and by literature produced by the Bahá’í Publishing Trust of India, the booth attracted about 6,000 visitors, hundreds of whom were informed about the edifice and about the Faith. Many visitors expressed their concern for the persecuted Bahá’ís in Iran and their hope that the cruelties inflicted upon them would soon end. Of course, the model of the House of Worship attracted the attention of architects and architecture historians who accepted information about the building with special delight. Journalists from Germany, India, England, Israel and other countries also received information about the House of Worship and the Faith, which was given to them in a folder with photos and short descriptions. On Friday morning, under the headline ‘Bahá’í—German and Indian—at the Book Fair,’ the local paper in Hofheim, the town in which the European House of Worship is located, published an article with a photo of the India Temple describing parallels between the two Houses of Worship. Those visitors who seemed especially interested were given copies of the Universal House of Justice’s peace statement. Among those who visited the German Publishing Trust’s booth was West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Compared to book fairs of the past few years, the number of people who knew of the Faith and longed for more detailed information was greatly increased. Personal experiences and friendships with Bahá’ís proved to be a most important factor for creating a positive attitude toward the Faith. |
