On Tuesday, 21 January, the Park of Military History will hold a lecture and guided tour of the exhibition “The Story of Two Transports: Jews of Međimurje and Prekmurje During the Holocaust,” which was prepared as part of the “Never Forget” project by the Jewish Heritage Centre Synagogue Maribor, in cooperation with the Jewish Community of Čakovec and the Municipality of Lendava. Boris Hajdinjak, the author of the exhibition and Director of Synagogue Maribor, will deliver a lecture on the long history of Jews in the regions of Prekmurje and Međimurje, their contributions to the development of towns and localities in these areas, and the tragic fate they suffered during the Holocaust.
The exhibition features numerous fascinating photographs and other archival material, with its central piece being a display case containing a blanket belonging to Terezija Fürst from the Auschwitz concentration camp and a notebook belonging to Lajos Blau.
