A local theatre organizes a walking tour of Jewish history and heritage in Gorizia, including the synagogue, former ghetto — and the Jewish cemetery, across the border in Slovenia. Participants will wear headphones and as they walk will hear a dramatized presentation keyed to places they are seeing, which will tell stories of people and their experiences linked to the city’s Jewish history.
Participants must reserve, and they also must wear face masks and follow social distancing measures.
On Sunday, October 25 — there will also be a tour at 10 a.m.
