SAVE THE DATE - Guided Tour "On the trail of Jewish Vienna"

Mahnmal

Leopoldstadt (Vienna's 2nd district) was once a center of Jewish life in Vienna. The Nazi regime brutally destroyed this world 80 years ago. Together we would like to follow the traces of Jewish Vienna in our neighborhood and at WU Vienna.


Time: October 23, 2024, 15:45 - approx. 19:00
Place: Sitzungssaal 1 / Walk through the 2nd district

On October 23, 2024, we will start with a lecture by Johannes Koll, Head of the WU University Archives and member of the Institute for Economic and Social History, on WU's Commemorative Project (see also https://www.wu.ac.at/en/the-university/about-wu/history/commemorative-project). After a visit to the Commemorative Memorial for the Victims of National Socialism on our campus, we will start at 5 pm at Praterstern with an approx. 2-hour guided tour through the 2nd district to various places of past and present Jewish life of our district.

More detailed information on registration will be sent out by email in the summer. If you are interested, please save the date in your calender!
