The cash book of the local Bikur Cholim society was maintained until 1940, the cemetery register until 1942.
- Archival history:
- The records were incorporated into the archives of the Jewish Museum in Prague during the Second World War as part of shipments of material from Jewish religious communities that had been disbanded.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- 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. From 1939 to 1942 it served as an internment camp for Jews.
