Hiking

70 chairs against forgetting. The oversized chairs recall (and admonish) the tragic fate of the ghetto inhabitants, of whom nothing remains apart from their furniture.

Hiking

During the war years, the square was the central part of the ghetto. Chairs symbolize the place where the victims were commemorated.

Only the chairs remained when the people were taken from here to the concentration camp, today a place to remember
