We support the following self-financing projects with promotional activities, no money is involved from our side.

A BOOK about the life of Josef Ganz will be published by Paul Schilperoord. After years of research all over the world, the Dutch journalist is ready to reveal the true story of the Volkswagen Beetle. Josef-ganz.com is supporting Paul Schilperoord in any possible way. Please visit his book-related website.

A DOCUMENTARY will be produced, based on the book of Paul Schilperoord. Interviews of Josef Ganz's friends will be as impressive as the hard facts presented in the movie.

The following projects are supported financially, they are part of the mission of our foundation.

PRESERVE THE ARCHIVE of Josef Ganz is one of our main goals. The thousands of documents and pictures should be protected and well preserved for the future generations. We also want to show this archive to a wide public.

A MUSEUM is a very good way to present the great work of the engineer and journalist Josef Ganz to a wide public. We are working on a carefully composed exhibition of prototype cars, documents, pictures and interactive elements to create an emotional view on the life of the Jewish genius.

THE AUTOMOTIVE HALL OF FAME is "The Highest Place of Honor in the International Motor Vehicle Industry". We are convinced that Josef Ganz's work should be honored with the membership of this foundation.

PROMOTION of the person Josef Ganz and his achievements is also a part of our work. We use the latest technologies on the internet to catch the attention of a wide public.

CONTINUOUS RESEARCH is very important. There are still many interesting questions to answer around the person of Josef Ganz. We are not only interested in technical history, but also in his family and his private life.

COLLECTING magazines, pictures and letters of Josef Ganz is an endless work. There are so many interesting documents and photographs (Ganz was an enthusiastic photographer). We want to collect them all to further enrich the Josef Ganz Archive.

CREATING MODELS of the cars designed by Josef Ganz is another interesting project. We already own construction plans of the Rapid car designed by the Jewish engineer in Switzerland and 3D pictures of other prototypes. It is our goal to reproduce some of the models in 1:1 scale.
