Summary/Abstract: The Jewish community in Tachov faced significant challenges during the late 1930s, culminating in their tragic displacement and persecution. Initially, the community experienced relative peace, but the rise of German nationalism and the events of 1938, including the Sudetenland crisis, led to increasing hostility and violence. Many Jewish residents fled Tachov, seeking refuge in larger cities or abroad. The community's properties were seized, and the synagogue was destroyed during Kristallnacht. Despite these hardships, some members managed to survive the Holocaust, either through emigration or by enduring the horrors of concentration camps. The study highlights the resilience and tragic fate of Tachov's Jewish community, emphasizing the importance of preserving their history. The demographic analysis provides insights into the community's composition, migration patterns, and the impact of Nazi policies. The document underscores the need for further research to fully understand the experiences of Jewish communities in the region during this period.
