Highlight of the month
The Last Jewish Lodging in Viseul de Sus – Maramures County
The Last Jewish Lodging in Viseul de Sus – Maramures County - will be inaugurated June 13th 2011 under the name of The Jewish Museum "Elefant" in the house located near the train station Viseul de Sus.( Upper Viseu ).
The name of the museum commemorates the last Jew in the region, Alexander Elephant, who was in charge of woodworking until his exile, in 1940. He ran an important timber factory, which operated on steam.
The museum house was first converted to a railway station and is now reconditioned as a true Jewish museum.
The museum was a library of old books in the Jewish tradition. In addition, tourists can admire a series of objects that were once owned by the Jews of Viseu. Those visiting the museum usually take a trip on the Mocanita train, and admire the Vaserului Valley.
