Sketches of teachers in the Jewish School (opened

Frigyes WILHEIM (1812-1900) teacher and school Director. Though from a poor background, he received his education in Bratislava, and later in Buda.

His first teaching assignment was in Nagykoros, then moved to Hódmezõvásárhely, where he remained until his death.
