- Administrative/biographical history:
- Jewish settlement is documented in Mladá Vožice from the mid-17th century. A religious community was probably established there at the start of the 18th century. In 1897 it incorporated part of the area of the disbanded Jewish communities of Pacov and Radenín (Prasetín, Těchobuz, Vodice; Dolní Hořice, Chotčiny). The Mladá Vožice community was disbanded by the Nazis during the Second World War and did not subsequently resume its activities.
