Since July 2006, the Centropa Association has been organising a monthly meeting of Holocaust survivors - the “Café Centropa”. It is a programme for meetings of Austrian Holocaust survivors and their descendants in Austria. These meetings at the community centre of the Jewish Community, in coffee houses and guest gardens have become an integral part of the lives of the senior citizens of Café Centropa. Every year, holidays such as Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Hanukkah are celebrated together, as it is the only opportunity for many of the people affected to celebrate in company. Descendants of Holocaust survivors also come to “Cafe Centropa”.

Es ist ein Programm für Treffen von österreichischen Holocaust-Überlebenden und ihren Nachkommen in Österreich. Diese Treffen im Gemeindezentrum der IKG, in Kaffeehäusern und Gastgärten sind aus dem Leben der Senior:innen des Café Centropa nicht mehr wegzudenken. Jährlich werden Feiertage wie Pessach, Rosh Hashanah und Chanukka zusammen begangen, da es für viele betroffene Menschen die einzige Gelegenheit ist, gemeinsam zu feiern. Nachkommen der Holocaust-Überlebenden kommen ebenfalls zu „Cafe Centropa.
