On 27 April, the Memorial to the Victims of Communism and to the Resistance organised a special history lesson in the museum rooms dedicated to Gheorghe I. Brătianu: a historian in history in collaboration with the County School Inspectorate and the Centre of Excellence of Maramureș County.

After the commemoration of the life and work of the renowned historian by history professor Marius Voinaghi, the book Marea Neagră în viziunea lui Gheorghe I. Brătianu (The Black Sea in the Vision of Gheorghe I. Brătianu) was launched. Historian Vasile Mîrza, the author of the book, and Gabriel Cojocaru, director of Grinta Publishing House, spoke about the publication.

The event, coordinated and moderated by our colleague Dr. Andrea Dobeș, was attended by pupils from various Sighet schools, including Dragoș Vodă Upper Secondary School, Regele Ferdinand Pedagogical Upper Secondary School, Taras Shevchenko Pedagogical Upper Secondary School, Marmația Technological Upper Secondary School, the Technological Upper Secondary School for Forestry, and a group of pupils from the Upper Secondary School of Borșa. The pupils were accompanied by their history teachers Ileana Sauliuc-Zapca, Adriana Vescan, Ioana Csillik, Maria Lauruc, Liana Timiș-Mureșan, and Vlad Mărioara. At the end of the history lesson a wreath was laid in the cell where Gheorghe Brătianu passed away.
