Plus d'infosTreblinka
Arriving in Treblinka by train recalls the horror of the Warsaw Ghetto inhabitants’ final trip from the Umschlagplatz to the gaz chambers.

Plus d'infosMaribor
The Jewish settlement in the medieval fortress of Maribor, near the Austrian border, dates back at least to the thirteenth century.

After their expulsion by Austrian emperor Maximilian I, Maribor’s Jews ...
