District Administrator Dietmar Allgaier introduced the district of Ludwigsburg and also addressed the brutal attack by Hamas on Israel in his welcome address. He expressed his sympathy to the students and assured them of the solidarity and support of the Ludwigsburg district. The students were very grateful for the solidarity and hospitality, especially from their host parents, but wanted to return to their families due to the situation in Israel.
