En 2008, en respuesta a la solicitud de las comunidades judías de Barcelona, la Generalitat de Catalunya declara el antiguo cementerio judío en Montjuïc como Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional. Gracias a la investigación de un equipo de arquitectos e historiadores hoy tenemos más información sobre su extensión y límites.
En esta visita al antiguo cementerio aprenderemos aspectos aún vigentes de la tradición funeraria, la historia del cementerio, nombres en las pocas lápidas encontradas. Conoceremos los criterios y el proceso para recuperar una pieza del patrimonio catalán, esencial para la práctica de la memoria de la comunidad y la de la ciudad.

ŠTETL FEST is a multi-genre festival that gives a glimpse into Jewish culture and history under the subheading “Dignity in Diversity”.
The programme, consisting of lectures, concerts, theatrical shows and appearances by personalities of Judaism and stars of Jewish culture, aims to contribute to the understanding and openness of the Jewish community not only in Central Europe. It is arranged in a comprehensible and attractive way for the broadest public, opening up opportunities for dialogue for all, regardless of religion, gender or race, and thus leading to tolerance and sensitivity to different ways and opinions.
The festival is based on the foundations of Brno’s Jewish history, from which grows a colourful, vibrant and no less interesting layer of contemporary Brno. It is the largest festival of Jewish culture in the Czech Republic.
