Les Juifs de Brno (Brünn)

Brno (Brünn), metropolis of Moravia, welcomed after the lifting of residence restrictions in the nineteenth century a largely German-speaking Ashkenazi community, integrated into the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie of this major textile city. The community equipped itself with modern institutions, synagogues and schools, and participated in the economic and cultural life of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and then Czechoslovakia. Under German occupation, from 1939, its members were persecuted and then deported, many passing through the Theresienstadt ghetto before being murdered in extermination camps. After 1945, only a reduced community was rebuilt.
