Jevreji Visokog
Jews of Visoko

Summary/Abstract: Over a period of one and a half centuries, from the first recorded mention of the Jews in Visoko and its surrounding areas to their deportation to concentration camps, they left their imprint on the development of economy and culture. Up-to-date information on life and activities of Jewish families and individuals in Visoko are given on the basis of unprocessed archival material of the Regional Museum in Visoko, which covers the end of the 19th and the early decades of the 20th century.Jewish population was involved in all aspects of life and had their own representative in local administrations. It is evident that the Jews in Visoko, were mostly merchants and owners of enterprises or its shareholders, so that the development of the economy was under their influence. There are no Jews in Visoko today. The few who survived the Holocaust did not continue to live here, but a number of monuments in the area of the town of Visoko and the records in the documents bear witness to the existence and contribution of the Jewish community.
