Administrative/biographical history:: The earliest references to a Jewish settlement in Břeclav date from the 15th century. A Jewish religious community existed there from the 16th century. It was disbanded after the annexation of the Sudetenland by Nazi Germany in 1938 and did not resume its activities after the Second World War.
