Their first settlements, which later disappeared without leaving a trace, were in the Lesser Side (at Újezd) and under Vyšehrad. Possibly in the 1st half of the 12th century another Jewish settlement with a synagogue was established around today’s Dušní Street.
Visit a place of suffering for almost 150,000 deported Jews, victims of a reign of violence, many of whom died in Terezín (Theresienstadt) and Auschwitz and other death camps.
The Jewish Quarter in Třebíč is noteworthy for having been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List a decade ago. Indeed, it is the only stand-alone Jewish historical landmark outside the State of Israel to earn such a distinction. In addition, it is easily accessible from the main motorway linking Prague with Vienna and Budapest.
