The Jewish Community of Croatia

The Jewish Community of Croatia

                          Latest News from the community

History and Demography

Jewish communities were already present in the Balkans when the Croats established a kingdom there in the 10th century CE. Jews lived in Zagreb in the 14th century but were expelled from Croatia in 1456. Their status and situation only improved in 1782 with the publication of the “Toleranzpatent” by Emperor Joseph II.

The Jews of Croatia and Dalmatia only received full emancipation in 1873. By the eve of WW II there were 40 Jewish communities in the country and 24,000 Jews. The Jewish Community of Zagreb grew to 11,000. In 1941, a pro-Nazi government was sworn in Croatia, and it implemented a policy of segregation and persecution against the Jews. This policy soon turned into active collaboration with Nazi Germany and with the deportation and extermination of thousands of Croatian Jews. Altogether, 78% of Croatian Jews perished in the Holocaust.

Community

After World War II, only 2,500 Jews lived in Zagreb. Many of them immigrated to Israel right after Israel’s independence. The remaining 1,500 Jews tried to rebuild their lives and preserve their identity under Communist rule. In addition to other smaller communities, there were also bigger Jewish communities in Zagreb, Belgrade and Sarajevo – all of similar sizes and all officially affiliated to the Federation of Jewish Communities in Yugoslavia.

The Federation of Jewish Communities lost its raison d’?tre with the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991 and with the war that ensued. The Jewish community of Zagreb was one of the first victims of the war: in August 1991, both its Community Center and its cemetery were targets of terrorist attacks. During the war in Yugoslavia, many of Bosnia’s Jews found a safe haven in Zagreb with the support of the American Joint Distribution Committee.

There are about 2,000 Jews and ten Jewish communities in Croatia today (in the cities and towns of Cakovec, Daruvar, Dubrovnik, Osijek, Rijeka, Slavonski Brod, Split, Virovitica, Koprivnica, and Zagreb). Those communities are affiliated to the Coordinating Committee of The Jewish Communities in the Republic of Croatia. The oldest are in Dubrovnik and Split and the largest one is the Jewish community in Zagreb, Croatia’s capital.

Culture and Education

As a result of Communist rule under Tito’s regime, the Jewish community of Croatia is mostly secular. It is also aging, as many of the young intermarry. Though, The Jewish community of Zagreb does have young members and facilities for them such as: kindergarten, youth club, Maccabi Sports Club, Sunday School… From 1952 numerous visiting rabbis served the needs of the Community and in 1998, the Jewish Community of Zagreb appointed a permanent rabbi for the first time in half a century. In 2003 a Jewish Elementary School was established.

The community center in Zagreb hosts a concert hall, art gallery, club, Shoah Documentation Center, archive and the library that owns 20,000 books, among them the first edition of the Shulchan Arukh (4 volumes), published in Venice in 1564 - 1567 as well as a synagogue with services on Shabbat and for the Holidays. The Community also owns an Old Age Home for almost 100 residents.

The Jewish community of Zagreb also features a five-member ensemble that plays klezmer music, as well as a dancing group called “Or Shemesh.” In 2006, the Jewish community of Croatia celebrated its bi-centennial.

Israel

Israel and Croatia established full diplomatic relations in 1997.
