In the lecture, Maja Kutin, a leading collaborator in the project of cataloging the book heritage of the pre-war Slovenian community in Prekmurje, will present the stories behind the selected treasures of prayer books and ritual books. Members of the local Jewish community used the Hebrew Bible and the Torah with references from the former rabbis of Murska Sobota to swear an oath before the Murska Sobota court, and the signatures in mourning prayer books for the dead reveal the stories of families that influenced the economic and social development of Prekmurje. The valuable collection is kept in the Provincial and Study Library of Murska Sobota.
