Joint tree planting, unveiling memorial columns and Holocaust commemoration

Jewish Cemetery, Győr-Sziget, Temető utca

7 July 2024, 10:00 am

To commemorate the victims of one of the greatest barbarities of the 20th century, and perhaps of history, we planted two trees in the cemetery and dedicated memorial columns next to the trees. May the trees grow to the sky and remind us!

Those speaking:

  • Prof. Dr. Mátyás Fekete, President of the Hungarian-Israeli Friendship Society of Western Transdanubia
  • Virág Sándor, Third-generation Survivor from Győr, living in Belgium, Vice-President of the Mensch Foundation
