Jewish Religious Community of Ivančice

Jewish settlement in Ivančice is reliably documented from the 16th century. A Jewish community existed there until the Second World War. In 1938–1939 there was a transit camp for Jewish refugees from Nazi-occupied areas in Ivančice. In 1939–1942 it served as an internment camp for Jews.
