In Hungary, the Sashegyi Arany János Primary School and High School participated in the project whose lead teachers, Éva Marton and Szilvia Csanády, are members of Centropa's professional advisory team. Their students regularly visited the Farkasréti Jewish cemetery  and they have been to the Csörsz Street Jewish cemetery as well to prepare the project. They took photos for an exhibition and created a film. They interviewed József Konrád, the son of György Konrád, who is buried in Farkasréti cemetery, and György Kroó's colleague and friend László Győri. As a result, they made their own film and organised an exhibition, which was presented to their fellow students.

Quotes from Students:

"I gained a lot of new information both about Jewish burial customs and about cemeteries. I also improved my group work problem solving skills."

"For me, the most enjoyable part was the creative part of the exhibition and its compilation."

"(I learnt) The need to keep up traditions and take care of cultures"

"It broadened my view of the world)"
