Tacheles* blog for more common sense and less anti-Semitism
We are a student group consisting of 8 – 10 students under the guidance of Anja Listmann. We are all studying at the Winfriedschule in Fulda and study the Jewish history in Fulda. We are working on various projects and campaigns primarily to keep the memory of the victims of the Holocaust alive. In particular we have focused on the deportees from Fulda after 1938.
In the future, this blog should not only document our projects, but also be designed as a blog spot about Jewish life in Germany yesterday and today.
