Timișoara, a multicultural city in the Banat, welcomed a developed Jewish community under Habsburg rule, blending older Sephardim with German-speaking and Hungarian Ashkenazim. Emancipated in the nineteenth century, its members distinguished themselves in commerce, industry, medicine, and the cultural life of a city where Germans, Hungarians, Romanians, and Serbs coexisted. As a large part of interior Romania was not subjected to systematic deportation, the community survived the Shoah in part, despite the persecutions, forced labor, and antisemitic legislation of the Antonescu regime. After the war, the majority emigrated to Israel and the West, leaving only a residual community.
