Les Juifs de Tachkent

Tashkent, a major administrative and industrial centre of Russian then Soviet Central Asia, was home to a Jewish community composed of Jews from Bukhara (Bukharim), of Judeo-Tajik speech and ancient oriental tradition, and Ashkenazim who came with Russian administration. During the Second World War, the city welcomed a large number of Jewish refugees evacuated from western regions threatened by German advance. The community enjoyed 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 great majority emigrated, notably to Israel and the United States.
