Tour of the Jewish quarter as part of an educational trip for trainee lawyers at Leipzig Regional Court

On 3.9.2024, the trainee lawyers of the Leipzig Regional Court were given a tour of Prague's Jewish quarter. The tour was organized and conducted by our educator Thomas, supported by our new volunteer Laurenz.

Thomas informed the participants about the history of Jewish life in Prague and the Czech Republic and also talked about the history of anti-Semitism in the Czech Republic. The MemoGIS web application co-developed by the Institute was also used during the tour.

Many of the crimes committed during the occupation were legally covered by laws and regulations. This makes it all the more important that future generations of lawyers and judges deal with the history of National Socialist crimes. We are delighted that the trainee lawyers at Leipzig District Court took advantage of this opportunity and would like to thank them for their keen interest.
