DER TRANSIT JÜDISCHER MIGRANTEN DURCH JUGOSLAWIEN NACH PALÄSTINA UND ISRAEL (1933–1952) DER FALL ERNEST UND ILSA ESCHINSKY
THE TRANSIT OF JEWISH MIGRANTS THROUGH YUGOSLAVIA EN ROUTE TO PALESTINE AND ISRAEL (1933–1952) – THE CASE OF ERNEST AND ILSA BESCHINSKY

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the continuity between the illegal influx of Jewish refugees into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the organized emigration of Yugoslav Jews to Israel, which took place between 1948 and 1952. For it to be possible to directly point out the connection between two separate stages of Yugoslav state participation in the migration process, the interwar period migration to Palestine and the mass migration movement of the post-war period were deconstructed to the level of individuals taking part in it. The case of Ernest and Ilsa Beschinsky was examined, as they are the only refugees whose movement can be traced in relative detail from the moment of arrival in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, consequent to the “Anschluss” of Austria to the time of applying for the organized emigration to Israel. The paper is based on documents held in the Archives of the Jewish historical museum in Belgrade.
