On January 27, 2021, took place a brief ceremonyin to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust in the courtyard of Liceul Teoretic Iulia Hasdeu Lugoj to mark the International Holocaust Rememberance Day. In the days before this activity, the students searched for information about the victims involved in this dreadful event. During the ceremony, the students presented the name of one victim and pices of information about their life, as a past recollection – not to be forgotten. At the end of the ceremony, the names of the victims had been written on a helium baloon which were released to the sky, as a symbol of reminiscence.
This activity is one of the activities found in the Meet me halfway (meet me in Vienna) project, in which the students from Liceul Teoretic „Iulia Hasdeu” Lugoj are colaborating with the students from Vestal Senior High School, Vestal, New York, USA.
