Jewish Roots in Győr World Reunion
Győr, 4-7 July 2024
Hundreds of us met and became friends.
We looked not only to the past, but also to the future. Our memories were passed on to those who will come after us, so that the flame will burn forever, thus our ancestors will live on. We commemorated the perished members of our families, innocent victims of the terrible barbarism of the 1940s. A memorial conference and a concert were held. We unveiled a memorial plaque and jointly planted memorial trees. On the occasion of the meeting, the Jewish Excellences Exhibition Győr was opened in the most authentic place, namely in the Győr Synagogue, thanks to the University of Győr. We took part in the traditional Holocaust commemoration ceremony.
During a guided walk in the former Jewish quarter, we visited the Synagogue, the cemetery and the former home of the poor and elderly. We also got to know Győr as it is today.
Some of the events were also open to the good-willed wider public of Győr.
It was all worth being together!
Our Foundation continues to work on new projects, mainly in the field of combating xenophobia, social exclusion and anti-Semitism, and promoting tolerance between groups of fellow citizens among secondary school and university youth in Győr.
