On this occasion, the project directors presented Universidad ORT Uruguay with Universidad ORT Uruguay plaque in gratitude for the support provided by its Department of Jewish Studies, which—in addition to the activities mentioned—participated for nearly three years in overseeing the selection and development of the content displayed in the exhibition, as well as in training the young guides, many of whom are students at our university.
The exhibition was visited by more than 35,000 people, and more than 10,000 high school students nationwide received guided tours from young guides specially trained for this purpose.
B’nai B’rith Uruguay and Hillel Uruguay received similar honors for their collaboration in the logistics, organization, and coordination of the project.
