 Europa Plan by Gisi Fleischmann is designed to present and embrace not only an extraordinary fate of a rare, brave woman (1892-1944),​ but also her devotion and responsibility to the European vision of helping hand for persecuted and haunted people. The beautiful human idea of Europa Plan originated in Slovakia. It could not be realized 75 years ago, but we could help it to succeed now. Europa Plan by Gisi Fleischmann is designed to present and embrace not only an extraordinary fate of a rare, brave woman (1892-1944),​ but also her devotion and responsibility to the European vision of helping hand for persecuted and haunted people.

 During the research in Gisi Fleischmann´s footsteps by Anna Grusková, since 2003 till now, both in Europe and Israel, a lot of documents were collected, mostly unique and publicly unknown. The largest part creates unpublished letters written by her to rescue organizations in Europe, some, very few have a personal character. There are also many photographs,​ newspaper articles, public records etc. Since the physical body of Gisi Fleischmann disappeared in Auschwitz, there is no grave of her, no place where a commemoration could be held. In the virtual museum will be created space, where could visitors enter her life and legacy in different houses/​places,​ important in her life time. The houses /places are in Bratislava, Budapest, Terezin and in Auschwitz. ​ During the research in Gisi Fleischmann´s footsteps by Anna Grusková, since 2003 till now, both in Europe and Israel, a lot of documents were collected, mostly unique and publicly unknown.

-The project ​Imprints of Gisi Fleischmann,​ inspired ​by biographical facts about the life of Gisi Fleischmann ​and her Working Group, has the ambition of: +
-- emphasizing of the European dimension of the life and work of Gisi Fleischmann – she was the leader of the Working group what was the only one illegal institution in the whole Europe that aimed to rescue all the European Jews, not only local community +
-- opening up the remarkable human destiny of a brave women who lived in Slovakia, especially to the younger generation, and showing that the resistance movement was also a matter of other ethnic and religious groups than Slovak Catholics and Communists;​ +
-- providing the general public with a new perspective on the issue of the Slovak State; +
-- integrating the perception and research of the Holocaust in Slovakia into a broader international context; +
-- redefining the concept of heroism in retrospect and the heroism of a woman, mother and wife? +
-- drawing attention to existing connections between the ideology of the Slovak State and current neo-Nazi activities, and pointing out that the message of Gisi Fleischmann is not a closed chapter, but that it has something to say even to present-day Slovaks, especially in the context of current activities directed towards the justification or even glorification of the Tiso regime. +
-- drawing attention to challenges for today´s European policy and s.c“migrant crisis” +
-- rising awareness of European human rights heritage//​ +
