The Regional Museum Ptuj-Ormoz invites the historian Boris Hajdinjak to the International Museum Day.
From the end of 13. by mid-15. for centuries, Jews also lived among the inhabitants of medieval Ptuj. Their presence is confirmed by five articles of the Ptuj city statute from 1376. There was a Jewish street in the city, in which a synagogue stood. The Jewish cemetery confirms seven medieval Jewish tombstones discovered so far, which is also numerous in the wider regional space. Two of these were only recently discovered during archaeological excavations in the old town of Ptuj: in 2019 and 2020. In 1404, Ptuj was the scene of the only known medieval pogrom on the territory of present-day Slovenia. Nevertheless, the Jew Mair of Bernkastel in the Rhineland took refuge here in 1432-1446. Only with him does the medieval Jewish history of Ptuj end.
The historian Boris Hajdinjak , director of the center of Jewish cultural heritage synagogue Maribor, will lecture on the Jews of medieval Ptuj.

Ptujski grad, ponedeljek, 18. 5. 2026, ob 18.00
Pokrajinski muzej Ptuj – Ormož vabi na mednarodni dan muzejev na predavanje zgodovinarja Borisa Hajdinjaka.
Od konca 13. do sredine 15. stoletja so med prebivalci srednjeveškega Ptuja živeli tudi Judje. Njihovo prisotnost potrjuje pet členov ptujskega mestnega statuta iz leta 1376. V mestu je obstajala Judovska ulica, v kateri je stala sinagoga. Judovsko pokopališče potrjuje sedem do zdaj odkritih srednjeveških judovskih nagrobnikov, kar je veliko tudi v širšem regijskem prostoru. Dva izmed teh sta bila ob arheoloških izkopavanjih v starem mestnem jedru Ptuja odkrita šele nedavno: v letih 2019 in 2020. Ptuj je bil leta 1404 prizorišče edinega znanega srednjeveškega pogroma na ozemlju današnje Slovenije. Kljub temu se je sem v letih 1432–1446 zatekel Jud Mair iz Bernkastela v Porenju. Šele z njim se konča srednjeveška judovska zgodovina Ptuja.
O Judih srednjeveškega Ptuja bo predaval zgodovinar Boris Hajdinjak , direktor Centra judovske kulturne dediščine Sinagoga Maribor.
Geograf in zgodovinar Boris Hajdinjak je od leta 2017 direktor Centra judovske kulturne dediščine Sinagoga Maribor. To je edina ustanova v Sloveniji, ki se sistematično in strokovno ukvarja s slovensko judovsko zgodovino. Hajdinjak je odličen poznavalec srednjega veka, poleg tega pa tudi raziskovalec holokavsta in zgodovine Judov na Slovenskem. Je avtor člankov in knjig o srednjeveški in zgodnjenovoveški zgodovini Slovenije, o zgodovini Maribora v prvi polovici 20. stoletja ter o zgodovini holokavsta v Sloveniji in v državah nekdanje Jugoslavije.
