Students from Class 11B of the Johann Ettinger German Theoretical High School first attended a lecture on reading Hebrew epitaphs and interpreting symbols on Jewish tombstones. Then, together with their teacher, they traveled by bus to the Orthodox and Neolog Jewish cemeteries in Satu Mare.
Local journalists also joined the visit at the cemeteries and interviewed students about their experience and newly acquired knowledge.
The program was organized in partnership with the Democratic Forum of Germans in Satu Mare. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Elisa Vaughan and Josef Hölzli for co-organizing the event. We are also grateful to the teachers and principal of Johann Ettinger School, as well as the Jewish Community of Satu Mare, for their cooperation and continued support.
This educational activity was supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.
