Lidia Zamenhof theme for Aberdour

2004 is the centenary of the birth of Zamenhof's daughter, Lidia. She was an extraordinary woman who contributed significantly to the Esperanto movement and its literature. There already have been centenary events in many parts of the world.

Lidia will be the main theme of the Zamenhof Festival which takes place once again in the Boat Club, Aberdour. The Boat Club is idyllically situated beside the harbour and enjoys dramatic views of Edinburgh and the Forth Islands.

Jean Bisset will speak about the highlights of Lidia's life; and Hugh Reid will comment upon Esperanto publicity in France, a country where Lidia was very active.

The event begins at 1400 on Saturday 4th December 2004. There will be refreshments; and we shall, of course, festively commemorate the Good Doctor!
