Jawne, Jewish secondary school museum in Cologne, Germany.
The Jawne memorial center contains exhibits documenting the stories of Jewish students who attended this educational institution between 1919 and 1942.
Rabbi Emanuel Carlebach established Jawne in 1919 as the first Jewish secondary school in Rhineland, receiving official state recognition in 1925.
The institution integrated German education standards with Jewish traditions, offering classes in Modern Hebrew and English to prepare students for life outside Germany.
The memorial center maintains records of 130 students who escaped to England through organized transports before World War II began.
The Lions Fountain memorial, designed by former student Hermann Gurfinkel, displays names of children who perished during the Holocaust.
