On April 24th a group of Jewish educators and community leaders from Italy, participants of Study Visit organized by Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, paid a visit to Zamość and met with students from II LO high school participating in Forum’s “School of Dialogue”. The II LO school was established 99 years ago. Before World War II a vast majority of its students were Jewish. Today, in the frame of the Forum’s activities, the teenagers are retracing the past of their school and of the district where it is located, Nowe Miasto.

During the meeting both groups took part in a workshop that not only allowed them to get to know each other, but also was a presentation of the methods used in the Forum’s educational work. The Italian guests participated in a very special tour of Nowe Miasto, conducted and prepared by the students as their own commemoration of the Jewish community in Zamość. The guests were very impressed by the incredible work done by the school and the students
