Maps of Jewish Settlement in Bohemia and Moravia

Maps of Jewish Settlement in Bohemia and Moravia

The maps present database data on Jewish settlement in selected towns in the Czech lands from 1857 to 1930. The data was collected as part of various projects, particularly two postdoctoral projects carried out at the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences. One output of one of them is also the book Crossing the Ghetto Borders (Institute of History, 2023), which also contains a description of the methodology for creating these maps of Jewish settlement.
