In the archive of our museum there is a newspaper called The Camp Newspaper (Táborihiradó), a rare document. It was written by Jewish prisoners in the Szentkirályszabadja labour camp in Hungary. It is interesting to follow the topics discussed in the context in which it was written. One article that piqued our interest is about health.

Starting in November 2022, Muzeon is participating in the second phase of the DOORS incubator programme. The initiative helps smaller European museums that want to take a step forward into the digitised world.

Transylvania's rich history reveals aspects of the first traces left by various communities. Among these stories is that of the Jewish community, whose presence in the region dates back to ancient times. Our exploration begins in antiquity, when the first Jewish individuals arrived in Transylvania with the Roman legions in the 2nd century BC.

Din arhiva Muzeon mi-a atras atenția un ziar în limba maghiară, redactat în 25 august 1944. Unul din articolele publicate acolo avea ca tematică apartamentele părăsite de evrei . Redactorul acestei reviste a ales să publice o serie de scrisori trimise de către cititori în care povesteau ce au întâlnit în aceste apartamente în care au fost nevoiți să se mute în urma bombardamentelor care le-a distrus casa. Poveștile și reacțiile cititorilor sunt variate, de aici pornind interesul de a traduce acest articol.

I noticed a newspaper from August 25, 1944, in the Muzeon archive. One of the items they published was about Jewish owners who abandoned their apartments. The editor of this magazine made the decision to publish a number of letters from readers who described their experiences while living in the apartments they had to relocate into as a result of the bombing that destroyed their homes. The variety of reader experiences and responses is what piqued our interest in translating this post.

Today, we want to share with you an exciting update about our activity at Muzeon, as part of the DOORS - Digital Incubator for Museums programme. We have recently advanced to Stage II of the programme, together with 19 other European museums.

Harry Brauner (1908-1988), a Romanian-Jewish folklorist and ethnomusicologist, was born on 24 February, 115 years ago, in Piatra Neamț, Romania. His brothers were the painter Victor Brauner and the photographer Teodor Brauner.

On Tuesday, 6 December 2022, the opening of our new temporary art exhibition, titled "The World through the Eyes of Jewish Artists of the Baia Mare Art School" took place at Muzeon.

Paul Lusztig, the last son of Moritz and Gizella Lusztig, was born in Gyalu (today Gilău, Romania) in 1912. The story of Paul inspired one of the audio guides at Muzeon. His father, Moritz, was a merchant and producer of alcoholic beverages, and his mother, Gizella, was a housewife. Paul started primary school in Kolozsvár (today Cluj, Romania) in 1917.
