Theaterplatz with Goeth and Schiller Monument and National Theatre Shalom! World. Weimar - centre of European culture. Weimar's reputation as a centre of art and culture has attracted visitors from all over the world up to the present day. They can follow the traces of classicist and post-classicist Weimar as well as the traditions of the modern movement and Bauhaus in the nuseums in the historic town centre and spacious parks. A cultural highlight in the history of Weimar was the work of Johann Sebastian Bach in the town. J. S. Bach served as court organist and musician in the court orchestra from 1708 and a concert master from 1714. Weimar experienced a great cultural upturn during its "Golden Age'.

Hatam Sofer Mausoleum Shalom! World. Bratislava is the youthful, dynamic and busting capital of Slovakia. At the same time, however it is a historical town full of tradition, nostalgia and music, and proud of its rich past. This is where the languages, traditions and cultures of three different countries meet, (Hungary, Czech Republic and Austria) to produce something very pleasant and attractive, a veritable microcosm of Central Europe. However the beauty of the city, the people keep a dangerous sin, the antisemitism. I was a victim of this sick. By 1944, three-fourths of the Jewish community had been exterminated, and more than ninety percent of Jewish youth had been deported.

Au cours de l'été 1990, pendant la nuit, les étudiants ont commence clandestinement à retirer des pavés de l'allée centrale conduisant à l'entrée du Château, les remplaçant temporairement par d'autres pierres. Sur la face inférieure de chaque pavé déplace, le nom de l'un des cimetières a é...
