Memory register · custodian, not owner
Tashkent, a major administrative and industrial center of Russian and then Soviet Central Asia, was home to a Jewish community composed of Bukharan Jews (Bukharim), of Judeo-Tajik speech and ancient Eastern tradition, and of Ashkenazim who came with the Russian administration. During the Second World War, the city received a large number of Jewish refugees evacuated from western regions threatened by the German advance. The community maintained a religious and cultural life, despite the constraints of the Soviet regime on practice. After the fall of the USSR and the independence of Uzbekistan, the vast majority emigrated, notably to Israel and the United States.
