Jewish-Christian Simultaneous School

Complete profile
60

The Christian-Jewish simultaneous school in Grünstadt existed since 1870. Previously, there was a Jewish denominational school until 1869. Classes were taught jointly by a Jewish and Christian teacher. In 1875 however, when the vacancy for a Jewish teacher was to be filled, difficulties arose with the Bavarian school authorities, which the Grünstadt city council successfully resisted. The position was re-advertised and finally filled by Benjamin Freudenthal who was to teach at the school for 35 years thereafter. The school was in operation until 1910.

В 1930-е гг. власти в ходе политики советизации препятствовали реализации еврейской культуры.

The Jewish hospital was located in the Minsk ghetto between 1941 and 1943, coinciding with the period of origin of the ghetto, and is today a musical school. It was in this hospital that the resistance against the German Wehrmacht and SS developed, as the hospital was an epidemic hospital for prisoners of the ghetto. German soldiers rarely entered the hospital for fear of possible infection. The chief physician was Lev Kulik.
