6 pm – LECTURE – Dr Gábor Schweitzer, Senior Research Fellow of the Centre for Social Sciences, gives a lecture with the title "I am happy to live here in the lovely beautiful feet of the Mecsek Mountains," in which he provides snapshots of the past of the Jewish residents of Pécs, the absence of the four thousand people deported from Pécs in the Holocaust, which had a long-lasting effect.
The cross-generational impact of our shared traumas affecting whole families and communities is inevitable. Inherited individual destinies are also intertwined in collective losses. On the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust, the Pannon Philharmonic invokes the commemorating and emotionally climatic effects of music by performing high-profile compositions. The programmes accompanying the concert highlight the shared tragedy of Holocaust victims, perpetrators and those who remained silent. The legacy that affects millions of people's lives in each of us, and it is up to us whether we act against its causes. The accompanying programmes will be introduced by Dr Gábor Schweitzer's lecture from 6 pm, which will present the still painful absence of the four thousand people who were deported from Pécs. We owe the organisation of the accompanying programmes to the art historian Tünde Pusztai, a former staff member of the Pannon Philharmonic, now living in the Netherlands.
