Final day – Synagogue, 19 April 2024
On 19 April 2024, our Foundation’s student competition on Jewish local history in Győr and its surroundings, entitled “Their fate – our history”, will end with a presentation day at the Győr Synagogue. The students’ year and a half-long project is part of the preparations for the “Jewish Roots in Győr World Reunion”, which will take place from 4-7 July this year to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the deportation of the Jews of Győr in 1944.
Of the eighteen three-member teams from nine secondary schools in and around Győr that entered the competition almost two years ago, we are delighted to see eleven teams from eight schools still standing. Their task was to work on a general and a more specific research theme and to create an artwork related to the subject-matter.
The teams will present their main research results and arts work to the jury on 19 April, which will announce the final scores and award prizes that afternoon. The winners will showcase their work at the World Summit conference (5 July 2024).
The public is invited to the Synagogue on 19 April to listen to the students’ slide presentations, each lasting 20 minutes. It is expected that there will be six presentations between 9am and 12 noon and five in the afternoon between 2pm and 4pm.
