Doprinos Židova i obitelji Gross razvoju Daruvara prema rukopisu Ezre Ukrainčeka
Contribution of the Jews and the Gross family towards the development of Daruvar, according to the manuscript by Ezra Ukrainček

Summary/Abstract: The sufferings of the Jewish people reach far back into the past. One of them occurred in the first half of the 6th century before Christ when many Jews were, for the first time, taken from their homes to the area of one part of the Babylonian empire and created the original Jewish diaspora. They were slaves there up until the second half of the very same century when the Persian emperor granted them their return to the homeland. From then up until the arrival of the first Jewish families to the Daruvar area, a lot has happened. Their way of life changed. After they arrived to Daruvar, they toured the villages as tradespeople, purchased and sold cheaper items. Over time, small-time traders and businessmen appeared among them. Later on, there were doctors, lawyers, and politicians. They became role models for other citizens with their work ethic because they contributed to the entire economy of the Daruvar region. Jews left a deep trace in Daruvar up until World War II. Their contribution is still visible today, in a time when Daruvar counts only a few individuals of Jewish descent. This portrayal casts more light on their inadequately investigated contribution to the Daruvar area.
