Summary/Abstract: The Jewish community in Staré Město pod Landštejnem dates back to at least the early 17th century, with the first recorded mention in 1495. The community faced significant challenges, including property confiscation and persecution during the Nazi occupation. Despite these hardships, the community's legacy is preserved through historical records and ongoing research efforts. The synagogue and cemetery in Staré Město, although damaged, remain important cultural and historical sites. The Jewish population in the town declined significantly after World War II, with many families emigrating or being deported. The community's history is documented through various records, including census data and property registers, providing valuable insights into the Jewish presence in the region.
