The matter of the virtual cemetery, where one can light virtual candles, was also addressed. The title of the presentation by Attila Nagy, local historian and chronicler of the city, was “Some practical extra information for the history of the cemetery of Dunajská Streda – focusing on the aspects of local (national) values”.
