Sažetak
Godine 2019. navršila se pedeseta obljetnica osnutka Međunarodnog fonda „Gladno dijete“, utemeljenog u Zagrebu 1969. godine. Osnovao ga je ing. Vladimir Paleček (1940.-1990.) u zgradi tadašnje JAZU (danas HAZU). Bila je to prva i jedina nevladina humanitarna udruga izvan „Željezne zavjese“. Osnivačkoj skupštini su među inima nazočili tadašnji nadbiskup splitski i makarski i metropolit dalmatinski dr. Frane Franić, kao i tadašnji glavni urednik Glasa Koncila, g. Vladimir Pavlinić. Palečekova su nastojanja podupirale najistaknutije osobe hrvatskog javnog života: kardinali, akademici, dramski i likovni umjetnici. Tijekom deset godina postojanja Fonda, pomoć u hrani, lijekovima i automobilima upućenana je u više od četrdeset zemalja Europe, Azije, Afrike i Južne Amerike. Godine 1977. pomoć Fonda su dobili Sv. Majka Tereza i o. Anto Gabrić. Mnoga avionska poduzeća širom svijeta pomogla su u besplatnom prijevozu humanitarne pomoći. Kuća u Zagrebu u kojoj je bio smješten Međunarodni fond "Gladno dijete" kupljena je zahvaljujući dobrovljnim prilozima članova i autorskim honorarima hrvatskih slikara. Djelatnost udruge nasilno je ukinuta za vrijeme SFRJ 1979. g., kada je Fond imao čak dvadeset pet tisuća članova. Kuća je oduzeta, a vrijedan arhiv i imovina Fonda otuđeni. Vladimir Paleček 1980. godine u Zagrebu i u Ženevi u Švicarskoj, osniva Međunarodnu misiju znanosti i mira na čemu mu je tijekom privatne audijencije u Rimu čestitao i papa Ivan Pavao II. No, pod optužbom za „antidržavno djelovanje, “ Paleček je osuđen na godinu i pol dana zatvora, a narednih godina zabranjeno mu je svako slično djelovanje. U Beču je zatim utemeljio Međunarodni komitet za zaštitu nerođene djece. Njegova plemenita nastojanja prekinula je iznenadna smrt 1990. g., u dobi od samo 50 g. Tijekom života je o svojem humanitarnom radu objavio nekoliko knjiga. Naš se prikaz temelji na mrežnim stranicama www.croatianhistory.net/etf/palecek.html i www.croatianhistory.net/etf/palecek2.html posvećenim uspomeni na Vladimira Palečeka. Summary: In 2019, it was the fiftieth anniversary of establishing the International Fund "Hungry Child". It was founded in Zagreb in 1969 by Vladimir Paleček (1940-1990) in the building of the then JAZU (today Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, HAZU). It was the first and the only non-governmental humanitarian organization outside the Iron Curtain. The founding assembly was attended by, among others, the then Archbishop of Split and Makarska and the Metropolitan of Dalmatia, Dr. Frane Franić, as well as by Mr. Vladimir Pavlinić, then the editor-in-chief of Glas koncila (The Voice of the Concillium) weekly journal. Paleček's efforts were supported by the most prominent figures in Croatian public life: cardinals, academics, theatre and visual artists. During the ten years of the Fund's existence, aid in food, medicine and vehicles was sent to more than forty countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. In 1977, St. Mother Teresa and Father Ante Gabrić received the help of the Fund. Many airline companies around the world assisted in the free transportation of humanitarian aid. The house in Zagreb, which was the official seat of the International Fund "Hungry Child", was bought thanks to voluntary contributions from members and donations by Croatian painters. The activities of the association were forcibly abolished by Yugoslav authorities in 1979, at which time the Fund had as many as twenty-five thousand members. The house was confiscated, and the valuable archives and assets of the Fund were alienated. Vladimir Paleček founded the International Mission of Science and Peace in Zagreb and in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1980, on which Pope John Paul II congratulated him during a private audience in Rome. However, due to being accused of “anti-state activities, ” Paleček was sentenced to a year and a half in prison, and in the following years he was banned from any similar activities. He then founded the International Committee for the Protection of Unborn Children in Vienna. His noble endeavours were interrupted by his sudden death in 1990, at the age of only 50. During his lifetime, he published several books on his humanitarian work. Our review is based on the website dedicated to the memory of Vladimir Paleček available at www.croatianhistory.net/etf/palecek.html and www.croatianhistory.net/etf/palecek2.html.
