History of the Jews in Dubrovnik information


The Jewish community of Dubrovnik existed as early as the 15th century, and grew significantly with the arrival of Jews and Marranos expelled from Spain and Portugal. The Jews of Dubrovnik played a significant role in the trade and diplomatic relations of the Republic of Ragusa but also experienced expulsions, restrictions and persecution. The Jews of Dubrovnik gained legal equality in the 19th century. The community was decimated in the Holocaust during the Second World War. Due to that and to the subsequent emigration, the community currently numbers about 30 members.
