Jewish Religious Community of Stod

Collection description

Scope and content:: The fonds contains cash receipts and a list of the inventory of the Jewish Religious Community of Stod.

Archival history:: It is not exactly known how the records came to the archives of the Jewish Museum in Prague.

Administrative/biographical history:: A sporadic Jewish settlement (one family) in Stod is documented from the 17th–18th centuries. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that a more substantial settlement emerged. A prayer association was probably established there in 1862, becoming a separate religious community in 1873. The community was disbanded after the annexation of the Sudetenland by Nazi Germany in 1938 and did not resume its activities after the Second World War.
