Strasbourg, the capital of Alsace, was long a heart of the Ashkenazic Jewish life of the region, marked by a rich rabbinical tradition and a surrounding rural Judaism. Alternately French and German according to the conflicts, the community played an important role in the modernization of French Judaism, notably within the consistorial organization established under Napoleon. Its members were present in commerce, crafts, education, and the liberal professions. During the Second World War, the community was evacuated and struck by persecution, before reconstituting itself after the war and remaining one of the most important in France.
