Philippe Schey Memorial Day - iASK (Kőszeg)

The first event of Philippe Schey Memorial Day was the book launch of My Disappearing Uncle, a moving family history written by Kathy Henderson. In the book, the author traces back her ancestors, and the life story of her uncle, and in this long family saga, a chapter features the city of Kőszeg as well. Before the First World War there was a street named after Philippe Schey, patron of the Kőszeg synagogue, which later was renamed after the famous Croatian-Hungarian nobleman, army general and politician, Miklós Zrínyi. On this May 2nd occasion, however, Philippe Schey street regained its original name. So the events will continue, from now on the institute and the town plans to organise the Philippe Schey Memory Day annually.
