Free guided tours of the Jewish Museum, the synagogue, and the exhibition “Holocaust in Ljubljana” at 12 PM and 6 PM, featuring five video stories of five Jewish families from Ljubljana.

On Sunday, September 1st, the Jewish Cultural Center Ljubljana on Križevniška Street will organize the event “Jewish Life in Ljubljana 2,” which will intertwine Jewish music performed by the Kontra Quartet from Maribor and cantor Nikola David from Munich, and the stories of Jewish families from Ljubljana before World War II and during the Holocaust and their predominantly tragic fates. The stories of Jewish families from Ljubljana will be narrated by actors: Robert Korošec, Timotej Novaković, Nika Korenjak, and Robert Waltl.

Organizing such events today is extremely important, as it enables the preservation of historical memory, the strengthening of cultural awareness, and mutual understanding. These events allow us to remember the past, reflect on the present, and build a better future where tolerance and acceptance of diversity are the foundations of society. Participation in such a large pan-European cultural program underscores the importance of connecting and exchanging cultural experiences between different nations and communities.

The event, concert, and performance will take place at 6 PM outdoors in front of the Jewish Cultural Center on Križevniška. In case of bad weather, the event will be held in the atrium of the house at Križevniška 3. The event is free of charge and is supported by Visit Ljubljana and JDC.

On the same day, there will also be free guided tours of the Jewish Museum, the synagogue, and the exhibition “Holocaust in Ljubljana” at 12 PM and 6 PM, featuring five video stories of five Jewish families from Ljubljana. Registration is required for the guided tours via email: info@jkc.si
